Correct Answer: 10


Solution : We have,
The radius of the sphere, $R$ = 3 cm
The radius of the cylinder, $r$ = 2 cm
The height of the cylinder, $h$ = 90 cm
Now, the required number of solid spheres
= $\frac{\text{ Volume of the cylinder}}{\text{Volume of the Sphere}}$
= $\frac{\pi r^2h}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3}$
= $\frac{3\times2\times2\times90}{4\times 3\times 3\times 3}$
= 10
Hence, the correct answer is 10.
