Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Volume of steel ball = \(\frac{4\pi r^2}{3}\)

= \(\frac{4}{3}\) \(\pi\) x 1

= \(\frac{4 \pi}{3}\)cm3

Vol. of cylinder = \(\pi\)r2h

= \(\pi\) x 22 x 4

Vol. of water = 16\(\pi\) - \(\frac{4 \pi}{3}\)

= \(\frac{48 - 4 \pi}{3}\)

= \(\frac{44 \pi}{3}\)cm\(^3\)
