Answer:

\bigstar{\bold{Option\:2:\:2.1\:cm}}

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Given:}}}}

  • Height of cone(h) = 8.4 cm
  • Radius (r) = 2.1 cm

\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{To\:Find:}}}}

  • Radius of the sphere

\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Solution:}}}}

FIRST we have to find the volume of the cone

→ Volume of the cone is given by the formula,

  Volume of the cone = 1/3 × π × r² × h

→ Now we have to find the volume of the sphere

→ Volume of the sphere is given by

  Volume of the sphere = 4/3 × π × R³

→ By given ,

  Volume of cone = Volume of sphere

SUBSTITUTING the VALUES we get,

   1/3 × π × r² × h = 4/3 × π × R³

→ Cancelling 1/3 and π on both sides,

   r² h = 4 R³

→ Substituting the values,

  2.1 × 2.1 × 8.4 = 4 R³

  4 R³ = 37.044

     R³ = 37.044/4

     R³ = 9.261

     R = ∛9.261

     R = 2.1 cm

→ Hence the radius of the sphere is 2.1 cm

\boxed{\bold{Radius=2.1\:cm}}

→ Therefore option 2 is correct.

\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Notes:}}}}

→ Volume of a cone is given by,

   Volume of a cone = 1/3 × π × r² × h

→ Volume of a sphere is given by

   Volume of a sphere = 4/3 × π × r³
