C) 3√3:1   D) 5√3:1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6√3:1

Explanation:
The top view of the given assembly will look like the figure above
Outermost is the sphere. Inside that there is a cube and within that there is a cone and cylinder with same radius.
Here side of cube = a
Diameter of Sphere = body diagnol = √3 a
Radius of sphere = √3 a/2 =r1
Height of Cylinder = Height of cone = side of cube = a =h
Radius of cylinder = Radius of cone = side of cube/2 = a/2 =r2(as shown in the figure)
Volume of sphere/volume of cone = 43πr1313πr22h = 6√3:1
