$A$ solid sphere of radius $R$ made of a material of bulk modulus $K$ is surrounded by a liquid in a cylindrical container. $A$ massless piston of area $A$ floats on the surface of the liquid. When a mass $m$ is placed on the piston to compress the liquid,the fractional change in the radius of the sphere $\delta R/R$ is

  • A
    $mg/AK$
  • B
    $mg/3AK$
  • C
    $mg/A$
  • D
    $mg/3AR$
