    A right cylinder just encloses a sphere of radius r as shown in the given figure. What is the ratio of surface area of sphere and curved surface area of the cylinder?

    A)  2 : 1                            

    B)  1 : 3              

    C)  \[1:\sqrt{2}\]                

    D)  1 : 1

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d) Clearly, the radius of the cylinder is r and its height is 2r = Surface area of the sphere \[=4\pi {{r}^{2}}\] Radius of the cylinder = r, Height of the cylinder = 2r \[\therefore \]= Curved surface area of the cylinder \[=2\pi r\times 2r=4\pi {{r}^{2}}\] Required ratio \[=4\pi {{r}^{2}}:4\pi {{r}^{2}}=1:1\]
