  1. If the radius of the base of a cone be 7 cm and its curved surface area be 550 sq. cm, then the volume of the cone is
    1. 1232 cu. cm
    2. 1024 cu. cm
    3. 1132 cu. cm
    4. 1324 cu. cm
Correct Option: A

Curved surface area of cone = 550 sq. cm.
⇒ πrl = 550

22
× 7 × √r² + h² = 550
7

22
× 7 × √49 + h² = 550
7

⇒ √49 + h² =
550
= 25
22

⇒ 49 + h² = (25)² = 625
→ h² = 625 – 49 = 576
⇒ h = 576 = 24 cm.
∴ Volume of cone =
1

22
× 7 × 7 × 24
