SSC CHSL - 10 July 2024 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q54

The curved surface area of a right circular cone is 20π cm2. If its radius is 4 cm, then find the volume of the cone.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 16 π cm3.

The curved surface area (CSA) of a cone = πrl

here, r = radius, and l = slant height

Now,

⇒ 20π = π × 4 × l

⇒ l = 5 cm

Now,

In a right circular cone,

⇒ l2 = r2 + h2

⇒ 52 = 42 + h2

⇒ h2 = 25 - 16

⇒ h2 = 9

⇒ h = 3

Now,

The volume of a cone(V) = 1/3πr2h

here, h = height of the cone

⇒ V = 1/3 × π × 42 × 3

⇒ V = 16π cm3
