SSC MTS 2024 PYQ — Question 1

SSC MTS - 16/10/2024 - (12:30 PM - 2:30 PM) • Quantitative Aptitude • Q1

Find the ratio of the curved surface areas of two cones if the diameters of the bases are equal and slant heights are in the ratio 5 : 3.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 5 : 3.

Diameters equal → radii equal

Slant heights ratio = 5:3

CSA of cone = π × r × l

Since radius is same, CSA ratio = slant height ratio = 5:3
