SSC CHSL - 07 Aug 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q64

The dome of a residential tower is in the form of a hemisphere with a radius of 560 cm. Find the cost of painting it at the rate of Rs 25 per m2 (Take π = 227\frac{22}{7} )

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Rs. 4928.

Curved urface area of hemisphere = 2πr2

According to the given question,

Radius of hemisphere = 560 cm = 5.6 m

Surface area to be painted = 2 × (22/7) × 5.6 × 5.6 

⇒ 2 × 98.56 = 197.12

Now, cost of painting = Curved surface area of hemisphere × Rate of painting per m2

⇒ 197.12 × 25 = 4928
