SSC GD 2023 PYQ — Question 51

SSC GD Constable (English) - 31 Jan 2023 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q51

Find the total surface area of a cylindrical container with lid, whose base diameter is k cm and height is k/2 cm (in cm2 ).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Correct answer is option 2 i.e. πk2

Given that

The base diameter of a cylinder is k cm, and height(h) k2\frac{k}{2} cm.

Radius (r) = diameter/2 = k/2

Formula used

The total surface area of cylinder = 2πr(r + h)

Calculation

TSA = 2 × π × (k/2) × (k/2 + k/2)

TSA = πk2 cm2
