Let r and a be the radius of the sphere and edge of the cube respectively.
Given, Surface area of sphere = Surface area of cube
(r/a)^2= 3 / 2π
r / a = √(3/2π)
Volume of sphere / Volume of cube = (4/3)πr^3/ a^3 = (4π/3)(r/a)^3
= (4π/3)(√(3/2π))^3
= (4π/3)(3/2π)(√(3/2π))
= 2√(3/2π)
= √(4x3/2π)
= √(6/π)
Thus, Volume of sphere : Volume of cube = √6 : √π.
