Question : There is a wooden sphere of radius $6 \sqrt{3}$ cm. The surface area of the largest possible cube cut out from the sphere will be:
Option 1: $864$ cm2
Option 2: $464 \sqrt{3}$ cm2
Option 3: $462$ cm2
Option 4: $646\sqrt{3}$ cm2
Correct Answer: $864$ cm2
Solution : Given: Radius of the sphere, $r= 6\sqrt3$ Diagonal of the cube = diameter of sphere $=2×r=2×6\sqrt3=12\sqrt3$ We know that, Edge of the cube, $a= \frac{\text{Diagonal length}}{\sqrt3}=\frac{12\sqrt3}{\sqrt3} = 12$ $\therefore$ Total surface area of the cube $=6a^2=6×12^2= 864$ Hence, the correct answer is $864$

Question : If $x:y=3:2$, then the value of $\frac{x+y}{x–y}$ is:
Option 1: $5:1$
Option 2: $1:3$
Option 3: $1:5$
Option 4: $3:1$
Correct Answer: $5:1$
Solution : Given: $x:y=3:2$ According to componendo and dividendo rule, if $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}$, then $\frac{a+b}{a–b}=\frac{c+d}{c–d}$ have the same ratio. Applying componendo and dividendo in the ratio $x:y=3:2$, we get, ⇒ $\frac{x+y}{x–y}=\frac{3+2}{3–2}$ ⇒ $\frac{x+y}{x–y}=\frac{5}{1}$ Hence, the correct answer is $5:1$.
