SSC GD Constable (English) - 15 Feb 2019 Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q70

The curved surface area of a cone is 550 cm2. If the area of its base is 154 cm2, then what will be the volume of the cone?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1232 cm3

Understanding/Application

Area of base of cone = πr2 = 154

πr2 = 154

22r2/7 = 154

r2 = 49

r = 7

CSA of cone = πrl = 550 cm2

(22 × 7 × l)/7 = 550

l = 50/2 = 25 cm

h2 = (l2 - r2) = (625 - 49)

h = √576 = 24 cm

Volume of cone = πr2h/3 = (22 × 7 × 7 × 24)/21 = 25872/21

= 1232 cm3
