Pigeon Hole

Level 2

The late painter Maqbool Fida Husain once coloured the surface of a huge hollow steel sphere, of radius 1 metre, using just two colours, Red and Blue. As was his style, however, both the red and blue areas were a bunch of highly irregular disconnected regions. The late sculptor Ramkinkar Baij then tried to fit in a cube inside the sphere, the eight vertices of the cube touching only red coloured parts of the surface of the sphere. Assume π=3.14 for solving this problem. Which of the following is true?

Baij is bound to succeed if the area of the red part is 11sq.metres Baij is bound to fail if the area of the red part is 10sq.metres Baij is bound to succeed if the area of the red part is 10sq.metres Baij is bound to fail if the area of the red part is 11sq.metres
