A solid cylinder has a total surface area of 231 sq.cm. If its curved surface area is  of the total surface area, then the volume of the cylinder is

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 269.5 cu.cm

Application

Given curved surface area = 2/3

Total surface area = 2πrh = 2/3{2πr(r + h)}

h = 2/3(r + h)

3h = 2r2 + 2h

h = 2r..............(i)

2πr(r + h) = 231 (given)

2πr(r + 2r) = 231

r = 7/2

Volume = πr2h = πr2(2r)

(22/7) × (7/2) × (7/2) × (2 × 7/2) = 269.5.
