SSC CPO 2025 PYQ — Question 89

SSC CPO - 13 Dec 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q89

The diameter of a right circular cone is 42 cm and its height is 20 cm. Calculate the total surface area of the cone.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Diameter = 42 cm ⇒ Radius = 21 cm

Height = 20 cm

l = √(r² + h²)

TSA = πr(l + r)

l = √(21² + 20²) = √841 = 29

TSA = π × 21 × (29 + 21) = 3300 cm²
