SSC MTS - 21/10/2024 - (12:30 PM - 2:30 PM) • Quantitative Aptitude • Q7

The total surface area of a right circular cylinder is 628 ⁴⁄₇ cm². If its radius is 4 cm, then the height (rounded off to the nearest whole number) of the cylinder is equal to:
(Take π = 22⁄7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 21 cm.

Total Surface Area = 2πr² + 2πrh

TSA = 2 × 22/7 × 4² + 2 × 22/7 × 4 × h

TSA = 2 × 22 × 16/7 + 176h/7

TSA = 704/7 + 176h/7

⇒ 4396/7 = 704/7 + 176h/7

⇒ 4396 = 704 + 176h ⇒ 3692 = 176h

⇒ h = 3692 ÷ 176 = 20.95 or 21 cm
