SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 21/02/2018 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q58

A right circular cylinder is formed. A = sum of total surface area and the area of the two bases. B = the curved surface area of this cylinder. If A : B = 3 : 2 and the volume of cylinder is 4312 cm3, then what is the sum of area (in cm2 ) of the two bases of this cylinder?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 308

A = 2πr(r+h) + 2πr2

A = 2πr(h+2r)

B = 2πrh

A/B = 2πr(h+2r)/2πrh = 3/2

h+2r/h = 3/2

1 + 2r/h = 3/2

r/h = 1/4

Volume of cylinder = 4312 cm3

22/7 × x × x × 4x = 4312

x3 = 343

x = 7 cm

Area of two Bases = 2 × 22/7 × 7 × 7 = 308 cm2
