Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The centre of mass of a hollow sphere, when filled with air, is located at its geometric centre. In this case, the lower part of the sphere, when filled with sand, is heavier than its upper part contaning air. The position of the centre of mass is likely to be shifted towards the heavier side at C.
The correct option is (c).
