SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 138

SSC CPO - 11 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q138

The area of the base of a cone is 616 cm2. If its slant height is 20 cm, then what is the total surface area of the cone? [Use π = 22/7 ]

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1496 cm2.

According to the question,

πr2 = 616

22/7 × r2 = 616

r2 = 196 

r = 14

slant height l = 20

Total surface area of cone = πr(r + l)

= 22/7 × 14 (14 + 20)

= 44 × (34)

= 1496 cm2
