SSC GD 2023 PYQ — Question 57

SSC GD Constable (English) - 25 Jan 2023 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q57

Find the ratio of the total surface area to curved surface area of a cylinder whose radius is 20 cm and height 50 cm.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 7 : 5.

T.S.A of cylinder = 2πr (h + r) 

C.S.A of cylinder = 2πrh 

where, h = height and r = radius

Ratio = T.S.A/C.S.A = 2πr(h + r)/2πrh

⇒ (h + r)/h = (50 + 20)/50 = 70/50 = 7 : 5
