SSC MTS 2024 PYQ — Question 4

SSC MTS - 17/10/2024 - (12:30 PM - 2:30 PM) • Quantitative Aptitude • Q4

A conical cavity is drilled in a solid circular cylinder of 7 cm height and 48 cm base diameter. The height and base diameter of the cone are the same as those of the cylinder. What is the total surface area of the remaining solid?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 1512π cm2.

Slant height = √(radius² + height²) = √(24² + 7²) = √(576 + 49) = √625 = 25 cm

Curved surface of cylinder = 2 × π × 24 × 7 = 336π

Base of cylinder = π × 24² = 576π

Curved surface of cone = π × 24 × 25 = 600π

Total surface area = 336π + 576π + 600π = 1512π
