As shown in fig. when a spherical cavity (centered at O) of radius 1 is cut out of a uniform sphere of radius R (centered at C), the center of mass of remaining (shaded) part of sphere is at G, i.e. on the surface of the cavity. R can be determined by the equation :

a
R2+R−12−R=1
b
R2+R+12−R=1
c
R2−R+12−R=1
d
R2−R−12−R=1

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Moment of masses about COM is zero.∴Mremaining×GC = Mcavity×OC​⇒Mtotal− Mcavity×GP−CP = Mcavity×CP−OPSince, Mass∝radius3​​⇒R3−132−R=13R−1              ​⇒R2+R+12−R=1
