  1. The volume of a conical tent is 1232 cu. m and the area of its base is 154 sq. m. Find the length of the canvas required to build the tent, if the canvas is 2m in width. (Take π = (22/7)
    1. 270 m
    2. 272 m
    3. 276 m
    4. 275 m
Correct Option: D

πr² = 154

22
× r² = 154
7

⇒ r² =
154 × 722
⇒ r = 7 metre
22

1
πr²h = 1232
3

h
=
1232
= 8
3154

⇒ h = 24 metre
Area of canvas curved surface area of cone = πrl
= πr √h² + r²
=
22
× 7 = √24² + 4²sq. metre
7

= 22 × 25 = 550 sq. metre
∴ Its length =
550
= 275 metre
