SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 1st August 2025 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q27

A bottle is made by attaching a hemisphere to a cylinder of the same radius. Radius = 3.5 cm, height of cylinder = 10 cm.
Find the total surface area of the bottle.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Given:

r = 3.5 cm, h = 10 cm

Curved surface area of ​​the cylinder = 2πrh = 2 × 22/7 × 3.5 × 10= 220 cm²

Curved surface area of ​​the hemisphere = 2πr²

= 2 × 22/7 × 3.5 × 3.5= 77 cm²

Therefore, total surface area = 220 + 77 = 297 cm²
