Correct Answer: 243 cm
Solution : Radius of sphere, $r_1$ = 9 cm Radius of wire, $r_2$ = 2 cm Let the length of the wire be $h$. Volume of sphere = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r_1^3$ Volume of cylindrical wire = $\pi r_2^2 h$ Now, volume of sphere = volume of cylindrical wire ⇒ $\frac{4}{3} \pi r_1^3 = \pi r_2^2 h$ ⇒ $\frac{4}{3}\times 9^3 = 2^2\times h$ ⇒ $h=243$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 243 cm.
