A solid sphere of radius \(r\) made of a soft material of bulk modulus \(K\) is surrounded by a liquid in a cylindrical container. A massless piston of area \(a\) floats on the surface of the liquid, covering the entire cross-section of the cylindrical container. When a mass \(m\) is placed on the surface of the piston to compress the liquid, the fractional decrement in the radius of the sphere, \( \left (\frac{dr}{r} \right )\) is:
1. \(\frac{Ka}{mg}\)

2. \(\frac{Ka}{3mg}\)

3. \(\frac{mg}{3Ka}\)

4. \(\frac{mg}{Ka}\)
