The radius and height of a cylinder are in the ratio 6 : 7 and its volume is 792 cm3 . Calculate its curved surface area in cm2 .
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 264.
Given that
Ratio of radius (R) and height (H) of the cylinder = 6 : 7
Let radius = R and height = H
Hence, =
⇒ H =
Volume of cylinder = π × R2 × H
C.S.A of cylinder = 2 × π × R × H
According to the question
792 = π × R2 × H
⇒ 792 = × R2 ×
⇒ R3 = 216
⇒ R = 6
Hence H = 7
The C.S.A. of the cylinder = 2 × π × 6 × 7 = 264
Hence, the C.S.A. of the given cylinder is 264 cm2 .
