Correct Answer: 16


Solution : Given,
Radius of sphere = 3 cm = $r_s$
Radius of hemisphere = $\frac{r_s}{2}$ = $r_h$
⇒ $r_s=2r_h$
We know, Volume of sphere = $x$(Volume of hemisphere) [in this case]
⇒ $\frac43\pi r_s^3=x(\frac23\pi r_h^3)$
⇒ $2(2r_h)^3=x(r_h)^3$
⇒ $x=2\times2\times2\times2$
⇒ $x=16$
Hence, the correct answer is 16.
