Given : 

Outer radius of a spherical shell is 13 cm and the thickness of the shell is 3 cm.

Formula Used : 

Volume of sphere = 4/3πr3

Calculation : 

Volume of the metal used = Voulme of outer surface - Volume of inner surface

⇒ 4/3π[133 - 103]

⇒ 4/3π[2197 - 1000]

⇒ 4/3π[1197]

⇒ 4/3 × 22/7 × 1197

⇒ 4/3 × 22 × 171

⇒ 4 × 22 × 57

⇒ 5016 cm3

∴ The correct answer is 5016 cm3.
