  1. From a solid right circular cylinder of length 4 cm and diameter 6 cm, a conical cavity of the same height and base is hollowed out. The whole surface of the remaining solid (in square cm.) is
    1. 48π
    2. 15π
    3. 63π
    4. 24π
Correct Option: A

Whole surface of the remaining solid = 2πrh + πr² + πrl
where l = slant height of cone. l = √r² + h² = √3² + 4²
= √9 + 16 = √25 = 5 cm
∴ Required area = (2 × π × 4 × 3 + π × 3 × 3 + π × 3 × 5) square cm.
= (24π + 9π + 15π) square cm. = 48π square cm.
