SSC CHSL - 04 July 2024 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q54

The diameter of a cylinder is 14 cm and its height is 9 cm. Find the total surface area of the cylinder.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 704 cm2.

We know that,

The total Surface Area = 2πr2 + 2πrh

here, r = radius, h = height

Diameter = 14 cm

Radius = 14/2 = 7 cm

Now,

The total Surface Area = 2πr(r + h)

⇒ 2 × 22/7 × 7(7 + 9)

⇒ 2 × 22/7 × 7 × 16

⇒ 2 × 22 × 16 = 704 cm2
