SSC CHSL - 18 Nov 2025 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q57

The ratio of the curved surface area of a cylinder to its total surface area is 7:10, respectively. If the volume of the cylinder is 12672 cm³, then find the curved surface area of the cylinder.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Has been given :

Curved surface area : Total surface area = 7 : 10

Volume of cylinder = 12672 cm³

According to the formula:

CSA = 2πrh

TSA = 2πr(h + r)

CSA / TSA = 7 / 10

2πrh / 2πr(h + r) = 7 / 10

h / (h + r) = 7 / 10

10h = 7h + 7r

3h = 7r

h = 7k, r = 3k

volume

πr²h = 12672

22/7 × (3k)² × 7k = 12672

22/7 × 9k² × 7k = 12672

198k³ = 12672

k³ = 64

k = 4

r = 12 cm

h = 28 cm

CSA= 2πrh

= 2 × 22/7 × 12 × 28 = 2112 cm²
