    Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πRH
    ∴ According to the question, 2πrH = 4πrh
    ⇒ H = 2h units

    Correct Option: C

    Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πRH
    ∴ According to the question, 2πrH = 4πrh
    ⇒ H = 2h units



  1. A hemisphere and a cone have equal bases. If their heights are also equal, then the ratio of their curved surfaces will be

    Curved surface area of hemisphere = 2πr²
    Curved surface area of cone = πrl = πr √r² + r²
    [∵ h = r]
    = √2πr²
    ∴ Required ratio = 2πr² : 2
    2πr = √32 : 1

    Correct Option: D

    Curved surface area of hemisphere = 2πr²
    Curved surface area of cone = πrl = πr √r² + r²
    [∵ h = r]
    = √2πr²
    ∴ Required ratio = 2πr² : 2
    2πr = √32 : 1


  1. There is a wooden sphere of radius 6√3cm. The surface area of the largest possible cube cut out from the sphere will be

    Diagonal of cube = Diameter of sphere = 6√3 × 2 = 12√3 cm.

    ∴ Edge of cube =
    12√3
    = 12 cm.
    3

    ∴ Surface area of cube = 6 × (edge)² = (6 × 12 × 12) sq. cm.
    = 864 sq. cm.

    Correct Option: A

    Slant height = BE = √12 + 5 = √144 + 25
    = √169 = 13 cm.

    ∴ Lateral surface of pyramid =
    1
    × perimeter of base × slant height
    2

    =
    1
    × 40 × 13 = 260 sq. cm.
    2

    Area of base = 10 × 10 = 100 sq. cm.
    ∴ Total surface area = (260 + 100) sq. cm. = 360 sq. cm.

    Correct Option: D


    Slant height = BE = √12 + 5 = √144 + 25
    = √169 = 13 cm.

    ∴ Lateral surface of pyramid =
    1
    × perimeter of base × slant height
    2

    =
    1
    × 40 × 13 = 260 sq. cm.
    2

    Area of base = 10 × 10 = 100 sq. cm.
    ∴ Total surface area = (260 + 100) sq. cm. = 360 sq. cm.
