Detailed Solution

Given, a spherical shell with outer diameter=12 cm and inner diameter=8 cm.
Outer radius of the spherical shell ( r 2  ) is
12 2 6cm  
Inner radius of the spherical shell ( r 1  ) is
8 2 4cm    The formula for the volume of the metal in spherical shell = 4 3 π( r 2 3 r 1 3 )   , where r 1   and r 2   are the internal and external radius of the spherical shell.
The volume of the metal is,
4 3 × 22 7 ×( 6 3 4 3 )    636.95c m 3  
Thus, the volume of the metal is 636.95cm3.
Therefore, the correct option is 2.
