  1. If the area of the base of a cone is 770 cm² and the area of the curved surface is 814 cm², then its volume (in cm³) is :
    1. 213√5
    2. 392√5
    3. 550√5
    4. 616√5
Correct Option: D

Area of the base of cone = 770 cm²
⇒ r² = 770

22
r = 770
7

⇒ r² =
770 × 7
= 245
22

∴ r = √245 = 7√5 cm
Curved surface area of the cone = πrl = 814
⇒ r =
22
× 7√5 × l = 814
7

⇒ l =
814
=
37
cm.
22 × √55

Let the height of the cone be h cm, then h² + r² = l²
⇒ h² + (7√5)² =
37
²
5

⇒ h² + 245 =
1369
5

⇒ h² =
1369
- 245
5

⇒ h² =
1269 - 1225
=
144
55

⇒ h =
12
cm

∴ Volume of the cone =
1
