SSC GD 2025 PYQ — Question 56

SSC GD Const 2025 (English) - 19 Feb 2025 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q56

The radius of a right circular cone is 3.5 cm and slant height is 0.21 m, then what is its lateral surface area? (Use π=227\pi = \frac {22} 7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 231 cm2 . 

Radius r = 3.5 cm

Slant height l = 0.21 m = 0.21 × 100 = 21 cm

Lateral surface area of cone = π × r × l

= (22/7) × 3.5 × 21

= (22/7) × (7/2) × 21 (because 3.5 = 7/2)

= 11 × 21 = 231 cm2
