SSC GD Constable (English) - 11 Jan 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q44

The curved surface area of right circular cylinder of height 14cm is 110 cm2. What is the base diameter of the cylinder ? (Use π = 22/7 ).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 2.5 cm

The height (h) of the right circular cylinder = 14 cm

The curved surface area of the cylinder = 110 cm2

CSA = 2πrh [where r is the radius and h is the height]

ATQ -

110 = 2 × (22/7) × r × 14

110 = 88r

r = 110/88 = 1.25 cm

Diameter = 2r = 2(1.25) = 2.5 cm
