SSC MTS 2024 PYQ — Question 7

SSC MTS - 30/10/2024 - (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM) • Quantitative Aptitude • Q7

What will be the total surface area (in cm2) of a right circular cone with base diameter 14 cm and height 24 cm? (Take π = 22/7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 704.

Radius (r) = 14/2 = 7 cm

Slant height (l) = √(r2 + h2) = √(72 + 242) = √(49 + 576) = √625 = 25 cm

Total surface area = πr(l + r) = (22/7) × 7 × (25 + 7)

= (22/7) × 7 × 32

= 704 cm2
