Correct Answer: 243 cm
Solution : Given, A solid metallic sphere of radius 9 cm is melted and recast into a wire of radius 2 cm. We know, The volume of a sphere = $\frac43πr^3$, where $r$ is the radius And, the Volume of a wire = $πr^2l$, where $l$ is its length. ⇒ Volume of the sphere $=\frac43\pi ×9^3= 972\pi $ cm 3 ⇒ Volume of the wire $=\pi(2)^2l=4\pi l$ cm 3 The volume will remain the same $972 × \pi = 4 × \pi × l$ ⇒ $l=\frac{972}{4}$ ⇒ $l=243$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 243 cm.
