Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-3
(b)
Let the radius of the sphere be r. Then, radius of the cylinder is also r and height of the cylinder is 2r.
$\therefore \quad$ Surface area of sphere $=4 \pi r^2$ and, Surface area of cylinder $=2 \pi r \times 2 r=4 \pi r^2$
Clearly, surface area of the sphere is same as the curved surface area of the cylinder. So, statement-1 is true.
The diameter of the largest sphere that can be inserted in a cube of edge $a$ is equal to $a$. So,
$\text { Volume of the sphere }=\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^3=\frac{\pi}{6} a^3$
So, statement-2 is true. Hence, option (b) is correct.
