  1. If S1 and S2 be the surface area of a sphere and the curved surface area of the circumscribed cylinder respectively, then S1 is equal to
    1. 3
      S2
      4
    2. 1
      S2
      2
    3. 3
      S2
      3
    4. S2
Correct Option: B

S1 = surface area of sphere = 4πr²
S2 = curved surface of the circumscribed cylinder
= 2πRH = 2π (2r) (2r) = 8πr²

S28πr²2

⇒ S1 =
1
S2
2
