    A 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 21 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Volume of sphere: V_sphere = (4/3)πR³ = (4/3)π × 6³ = (4/3)π × 216 = 288π Volume of one hemisphere (radius 3 cm): V_hemi = (2/3)πr³ = (2/3)π × 3³ = (2/3)π × 27 = 18π Number of hemispheres = 288π / 18π = 16.
