Solution
3
Suppose d is the diameter of the sphere. Then
\[d^2 = \left( - 1 - 3 \right)^2 + \left( 2 - 4 \right)^2 + \left( 3 + 1 \right)^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow d^2 = \left( - 4 \right)^2 + \left( - 2 \right)^2 + \left( 4 \right)^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow d^2 = 16 + 4 + 16\]
\[ \Rightarrow d^2 = 36\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 6\]
Hence, radius of the sphere is 3 units.
