Question : The curved surface area and circumference at the base of a solid right circular cylinder are 2200 cm2 and 110 cm, respectively. Find the height of the cylinder.
Option 1: 24 cm
Option 2: 22 cm
Option 3: 20 cm
Option 4: 18 cm
Correct Answer: 20 cm
Solution : The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder, where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height of the cylinder. $⇒A = 2 \pi r h$ The circumference at the base of the cylinder, $⇒C = 2 \pi r$ So, height =
Question : What is the compound interest on a sum of INR 25,000 after three years at a rate of 12% per annum interest compounded yearly?
