SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 21/02/2018 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q60

The height of a cone is 24 cm and the area of the base is 154 cm2. What is the curved surface area (in cm2) of the cone?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 550

Area of base = 154 cm2

⇒ 22/7 × r2 = 154

⇒ r = 7 cm

Slant height, l = √(72 + 242) = √625 = 25 cm

इसलिए,

CSA of cone = πrl = 22/7 × 7 × 25 = 550 cm2
