5Dec19 FS Q36

0. A solid is in the form of a cylinder with hemispherical ends. The diameter of the cylinder is 1/3 of its height (excluding the hemispherical ends). The total length of the solid including the hemispherical ends is 56 cm. What is the surface area of the solid?

  • Option : B
  • Explanation :
    Let ADCDEF is a cylinder with hemispherical ends.

    Diameter of the cylinder BD = 2d
    height of the cylinder AD = 6d
    total length = 6d + d + d = 56
    8d=56
    d=7cm.
    Surface area of the solid
    = Surface area of cylindrical parts + 2 x surface area of hemisphere
    = 2π x d x 6d + 2 x 2π (d)2
    = 12πd2 + 4πd2 = 16πd2
    = 16 x (22/7) x 72 = 2464 cm2
