A sphere of solid material of relative density $9$ has a concentric spherical cavity and  floats having just sinked in water. If the radius of the sphere be $R$, then the radius of  the  cavity $(r)$ will be related to $R$ as :-

  • A

    $r^3 = \frac{8}{9} R^3$

  • B

    $r^3 = \frac{2}{3} R^3$

  • C

    $r^3 = \frac{\sqrt 8}{3} R^3$

  • D

    $r^3 = \sqrt { \frac{2}{3}} R^3$
