Correct Answer: 7 : 3
Solution : Given: Radius of the sphere ($R$) = 2.1 dm = 21 cm Height of the rod = 7 cm Let the radius of the rod be $r$ cm. Now, The volume of the rod = volume of the sphere $⇒\pi r^2 h=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$ $⇒r^2\times 7 = \frac{4}{3}\times21\times21\times21$ $\therefore r = 42$ The ratio of the total surface area of the rod to the sphere $=2\pi r(h+r):4\pi R^2$ $=2 × 42 × (42 + 7): 4 × 21 × 21$ $=2 × 42 × 49: 4 × 21 × 21$ $=7: 3$ Hence, the correct answer is 7 : 3.
