Volume of the sphere = Volume of water displaced
\(\frac{4}{3}\pi(r^3)= \pi(6)^2*1\)
\(r=3\)
Where \(r= \)radius of the sphere
\(6=\) radius of the cylinder or bucket
\(1=\) rise in height of the cylinder or bucket
Volume of water displaced = \(\pi(6)^2*1\)
Volume of Sphere= \(\frac{4}{3}\pi(r^3)\)
Ans-D

As the water level rose by 1, so we assume the volume of cylinder with height 1 and radius 6 (radius of bucket) is equal to the volume of the sphere.
radius of bucket (r) =6
Height (h) = 1
Substituting the formula, gives radius of sphere (R) as,
πr^2h=4/3πR^3
We get R as 3, option (D)
