SSC GD Constable (English) - 12 Feb 2019 Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q65

Height of a right circular cone is 28 cm. If diameter of its base is 42 cm, then what will be the curved surface area of the cone?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 2310 cm2

Understanding/Application

Height of cone = 28 cm

Diameter of the base of cone = 42 cm

Radius of the base of cone = d/2 = 42/2 = 21 cm

CSA of cone = πrl

l = slant height

l2 = r2 + h2 = 212 + 282 = 441 + 784 = 1225

l = 35 cm

CSA of cone = πrl = [(22/7) × 21 × 35] = 2310 cm2
