SSC CPO 2023 PYQ — Question 108

SSC CPO - 03 Oct 2023 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q108

The curved surface area (CSA) and the total surface area (TSA) of a hemisphere whose radius is 7 cm are:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. CSA – 308 cm2 ; TSA – 462 cm2.

Given that

The radius of a hemisphere (r) = 7 cm

Formula used

The total surface area (TSA) of a hemisphere = 3πr2 square units.

The curved surface area (CSA) of a hemisphere = 2πr2 square units.

Calculation

TSA = 3 × (22/7) × 49 = 462 cm2

CSA = 2 × (22/7) × 49 = 308 cm2
