SSC CPO - 28 June 2024 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q112

A cylinder  of radius 7 cm has a curved surface area  of 2200 cm2. . Find its total surface area. (use pi = 22/7 )

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 2508 cm2.

Given that 

C.S.A = 2200 cm2 and radius = 7 cm

Formula used 

C.S.A of cylinder = 2πrh

T.S.A of cylinder = 2πr(r + h)

Hence, 2πrh = 2200

Solving for h we get

h = 50 cm

Substituting these values in the formula for T.S.A we get

T.S.A = 2πr(r + h) = 2 × 22 × 57 = 2508 cm2
