SSC CHSL 2024 PYQ — Question 67

SSC CHSL - 08 July 2024 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q67

The inner and outer radii of a hemispherical wooden bowl are 6 cm and 8 cm, respectively. Its entire surface has to be polished and the cost of polishing π cm2 is ₹50. How much will it cost to polish the bowl?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. ₹11,400.

Given Inner radius = 6 cm, and Outer radius = 8 cm

We know that,

Outer curved surface area (CSA) = 2πR2

here, R = outer radius

Inner curved surface area (CSA) = 2πr2

here, r = inner radius

So, Base area = πR2 - πr2

Now,

Total Surface Area(TSA) = Outer CSA + Inner CSA + Base area

⇒ TSA = 2πR2 + 2πr2 + πR2 - πr2

⇒ TSA = 3πR2 + πr2

⇒ TSA = 3π(8)2 + π(6)2

⇒ TSA = 192π + 36π

⇒ TSA = 228π cm2

The cost of polishing is Rs. 50 per π cm2

Total cost = 228 × 50 = ₹11400
