A solid cylinder with a height of 8 units and a radius of 3.5 units is to be covered with a paper sheet. If the cost of the paper sheet is ₹40 per 5 square units, the cost (in ₹) of covering the cylinder is: (take π = 22722\over7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 2024.

Total surface area(TSA) = 2πrh(r + h)

⇒ 2 × 22722\over7 × 3.5 × (3.5 + 8)

⇒ 2 × 22722\over7 × 3.5 × 11.5 = 253

Cost per square unit: 40540\over5 = ₹8

Total cost = 253 × 8 = ₹2024
