    Given that, Height = 1 m
    Diameter = 140 cm or 140/100 m = 1.40 m
    ∴ r = 1.40/2 = 0.7 m

    Now,
    Required sheet = Total surface area = 2πr( h + r)

    Correct Option: A

    Given that, Height = 1 m
    Diameter = 140 cm or 140/100 m = 1.40 m
    ∴ r = 1.40/2 = 0.7 m

    Now,
    Required sheet = Total surface area = 2πr( h + r)
    = (22/7) x 1.4 x (1 + 0.7) = 7.48 sq m
    ∴ Sheet required = 7.48 sq m


  1. A cylindrical box of radius 5 cm contains 10 solid spherical balls, each of radius 5 cm. If the top most ball touches the upper cover of the box, then volume of the empty space in the box is ?

    Height of the cylinder = 10 x Diameter of each ball
    = 10 x 10 = 100 cm
    ∴ Required empty space
    = π (5)2 (100) - 4/3 π (5)3 x 10

    Correct Option: A

    Height of the cylinder = 10 x Diameter of each ball
    = 10 x 10 = 100 cm
    ∴ Required empty space
    = π (5)2 (100) - 4/3 π (5)3 x 10
    = π (5)2 x 10 [10 - 20/3]
    = π (5)2 x 10 [30 - 20/3] = 2500/3 π cm3
