SSC GD Constable (English) - 18 Feb 2019 Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q68

Curved surface area of a cylinder is 110 cm2. If the height of cylinder is 5 cm, then what will be the diameter of its base?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 7 cm.

Understanding/Application

Let radius of cylinder = r cm and height = h = 5 cm

Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh = 110

2πrh = 110

2 × 22 × r × 5/7 = 110

r = 7/2

r = 3.5 cm

Diameter = 2r = 3(3.5) = 7 cm
