SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 136

SSC CPO - 9 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q136

What is the total surface area of a solid right circular cylinder of radius 7 cm and height 8 cm? (π = 22/7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 660 cm2.

Given that

The radius of a cylinder (r) = 7 cm

The height of the cylinder (h) = 8 cm

We know that,

The total surface area of a solid cylinder TSA = 2πr (h + r)

So,

TSA = 2 × 22/7 × 7 × (8 + 7) = 22 × 30 = 660 cm2
