SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 56

SSC CGL - 18 April 2022 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q56

A hemispherical depression of diameter 4 cm is cut out from each face of a cubical block of sides 10cm. Find the surface area of the remaining solid (in cm2).

( Use π =22/7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 675

Given:

Each face of a cubical block of sides 10 cm

radius of hemispherical depression = 4 cm

Formula used:

Area of circle = πr2

Total surface area of cube = 6a2

Curved surface area of hemisphere = 2πr2

Calculations:

According to the figure we have

Required area = TSA of cube - 6 × area of circle + 6 × CSA of hemisphere

⇒ 6 × 102 - 6 × πr2 + 6 × 2πr2

⇒ 600 + 6 × π × 22

⇒ 600 + 75(3/7) = 675(3/7)
