SSC GD Constable (English) - 23 Jan 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q48

If the diameter of the base and the height of a cylinder are 16cm and 20 cm, respectively, then what is the total surface area of the cylinder? (Use π = 22/7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 1408 cm2.

Given that

The diameter of the base of a cylinder (D) is 16 cm

The radius of the cylinder (r) = D/2 = 16/2 = 8 cm

The height of a cylinder (h) is 20 cm

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

⇒ 2 × (22/7) × 8 × (8 + 20)

⇒ 352 × 28/7

⇒ 1408 cm2
