SSC GD Constable (English) - 13 Jan 2023 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q60

A toy is in the form of a cone mounted on a hemisphere. The radius of the hemisphere and that of the cone is 7 cm and height of the cone is 5 cm. The total surface area of the toy (take 7 = =) is (rounded off to two places of decimal):

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 497.25 cm2 

Given that

The radius of the hemisphere = 7 cm

The height of the cone  = 5 cm

The total surface area of the toy = the surface area of the cone  + the surface area of the hemisphere

Formula used

The curved Surface Area, CSA of cone = πrl

The curved surface area of the hemisphere = 2πr2 square units.

Now, The total surface area of the toy = πrl +  2πr2 

= 2 × (22/7) × 72 + (22/7) × 7 × √(72 + 52)

= 389 + 189.25 = 497.25 cm2
