. We're sorry about the hassle.
the second last step is wrong. How do you get root over of pi/6 = 1/root over of pi/6. Actually the answer should be root over of pi by 6 i.e approximately 0.732. If you have any confusion then you may also consult class 9 R.D.Sharma. This is a quite easy question. But, the answer here is wrong. This is actually the ratio of the volumes of sphere and cube whereas it is asked to find the ratio of the volumes of cube and sphere.

I'm sorry I changed the question.............And the solution too...

I'm extremely sorry Clavin sir, I didn't notice my mistake................
Let the surface areas of the two solids be 1 0 0 .
For the sphere:
1 0 0 = 4 π r 2 ⟹ r 2 = π 2 5 ⟹ r = π 5
V = 3 4 π ( π 5 ) 3 = 9 4 . 0 3 2
For the cube:
1 0 0 = 6 a 2 ⟹ a 2 = 3 5 0 ⟹ a = 3 5 0
V = ( 3 5 0 ) 3 = 6 8 . 0 4
R a t i o = 6 8 . 0 4 9 4 . 0 3 2 = 1 . 3 8 2

According to the problem, 6 l 2 = 4 π r 2
l 2 = 6 4 π r 2
l = 6 4 π r 2
therfore the volume of the cube is = ( 6 4 π r 2 ) 3
= 6 4 π r 2 × 2 r 6 π
= 3 4 π r 3 6 π
and the volume of the sphere is, = 3 4 π r 3
Therefore the ratio is, 3 4 π r 3 . 6 π 3 4 π r 3
which is nothing but, 6 π 1
i.e, π 6
which is approximately, 1.381.
