SSC CPO 2023 PYQ — Question 143

SSC CPO - 05 Oct 2023 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q143

The total surface area of a cone whose radius is 3 cm and height is 4 cm is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e.  5287\frac{528}{7} cm2

Given that

The radius of a cone (r) = 3 cm

The height of a cone (h) = 4 cm

Formula used

Total surface area of a cone TSA = πr(r + l)

slant height (l) = √(32 + 42) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 cm

Calculation 

TSA = (22/7) × 3 × (3 + 5)

TSA =   5287\frac{528}{7} cm2
