    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 [SSC CGL Tier II, 2015]

    A) \[864\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]

    B) \[646\,\sqrt{3}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[462\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]

    D) \[464\sqrt{3}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let, the length of cube is a cm. Then, Diagonal of cube = Diameter of sphere \[\Rightarrow \]   \[a\sqrt{3}=2\times 6\times \sqrt{3}\] \[\therefore \]      \[a=12\,cm\] Then, surface area of cube\[=6{{a}^{2}}=6\times {{(12)}^{2}}\] \[=6\times 144=864\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
