$A$ concrete sphere of radius $R$ has a cavity of radius $r$ which is packed with sawdust. The specific gravities of concrete and sawdust are $2.4$ and $0.3$ respectively. For this sphere to float with its entire volume submerged under water,the ratio of the mass of concrete to the mass of sawdust will be:

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $0$
