Correct Answer: 60
Solution : Given: Diameter = 6 cm Radius = 3 cm The volume of the sphere = $\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$ ($R$ is the radius of a new sphere formed) According to the question, $1000\times \frac{4}{3}\times \pi \times (\frac{6}{2})^3=\frac{4}{3}\times \pi \times R^3$ $⇒1000\times 3^3=R^3$ $⇒R = 30$ cm So, the diameter of the new sphere is 2 × 30 = 60 cm. Hence, the correct answer is 60.
