Answer

Given,

A solid metal cuboid with dimensions 10 cm, 11 cm and 8 cm is melted and identical solid spheres, each of radius 1 cm, are formed. Let no. of spheres formed be n.

∴ Volume of metal cuboid = n × Volume of sphere

⇒ l × b × h = n × 43πr3\dfrac{4}{3}πr^3

⇒ 10 × 11 × 8 = n × 43×227×13\dfrac{4}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 1^3

⇒ 880 = n × 8821\dfrac{88}{21}

⇒ n = 880×2188\dfrac{880 \times 21}{88}

⇒ n = 10 x 21 = 210.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
