Calculate the surface area components added and removed: surface area of sphere = 4╧АR2, two circular caps removed (2╧Аr2), and inner cylindrical wall added (2╧Аr├Ч2R).
Ball of radius R = 10 cm, Cylindrical hole of radius r = 1 cm drilled through the centre.

Calculate the surface area components added and removed: surface area of sphere = 4╧АR2, two circular caps removed (2╧Аr2), and inner cylindrical wall added (2╧Аr├Ч2R).
Students often forget to add the inner curved surface area of the cylinder or incorrectly subtract the cross-sectional areas of the holes twice.
Surface Area of Original Sphere
The surface area of the original solid ball of radius R=10┬аcm is given by the formula for the surface area of a sphere: S1тАЛ=4╧АR2.
S1тАЛ=4╧А(10)2=400╧А
Surface Area of the Hollowed Ball
When a cylindrical hole of radius r=1┬аcm is drilled through the centre, two circular ends of area ╧Аr2 each are removed from the outer surface, and a new inner cylindrical curved surface of height 2R (equal to the diameter of the ball) is created.
S2тАЛ=4╧АR2тИТ2(╧Аr2)+2╧Аr(2R)
Substitute the Values
Substitute R=10 and r=1 into the expression for the new surface area S2тАЛ: S2тАЛ=4╧А(10)2тИТ2╧А(1)2+2╧А(1)(2├Ч10)=400╧АтИТ2╧А+40╧А=438╧А.
S2тАЛ=400╧АтИТ2╧А+40╧А=438╧А
Calculate the Ratio
Find the ratio of the total surface area of the hollowed ball to the surface area of the original ball: Ratio=S1тАЛS2тАЛтАЛ=400╧А438╧АтАЛ=200219тАЛ.
Ratio=400╧А438╧АтАЛ=200219тАЛ
A is correct because the ratio of the surface area of the hollowed ball to the original ball evaluates to 200219тАЛ.
Similar composite solid problems frequently appear in 3D geometry where volume or surface area components are added or removed.
