Question : The total surface area of a cone whose radius is 3 cm and height is 4 cm is:

Option 1: $\frac{425}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 2: $\frac{501}{9} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 3: $\frac{475}{8} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 4: $\frac{528}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{528}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^2$


Solution : Radius ($r$) = 3 cm and height ($h$) = 4 cm
Let $l$ be the slant height of the cone.
We know, $l^2 = r^2 + h^2$
$⇒l^2 = 3^2 + 4^2$
$\therefore l= 5$ cm
$\therefore$ Total surface area $=\pi r(r+l)=\frac{22}{7} \times 3

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

As the world's population approaches 8 billion and resource use intensifies, pollution is becoming more extensive, pervasive, and persistent. It affects our health through the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. By 2025, the world's cities will produce 2.2 billion metric tonnes of waste every year, more than three times the amount produced in 2009. That said, pollution is not a new phenomenon and is largely controllable and often avoidable, as shown in some countries and cities that have succeeded in decoupling economic growth from pollution and waste accumulation.

With the end goal of eradicating all forms of pollution by 2030, the UN Environment Programme was tasked by the UN Environment Assembly to coordinate the implementation of a global plan reiterating that pollution is not only an environmental priority, it's a priority for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

What if globally designed products could radically change how we work, produce and consume? Several examples across continents show the way we are producing and consuming goods could be improved by relying on globally shared digital resources, such as design, knowledge and software.
Imagine a prosthetic hand designed by geographically dispersed communities of scientists, designers and enthusiasts in a collaborative manner via the web. All knowledge and software related to the hand is shared globally as a digital commons. People from all over the world who are connected online and have access to local manufacturing machines (from 3D printing and CNC machines to low-tech crafts and tools) can, ideally with the help of an expert, manufacture a customised hand. This is the case of the Open Bionics project, which produces designs for robotic and bionic devices.
There are no patent costs to pay for. Less transportation of materials is needed, since a considerable part of the manufacturing takes place locally; maintenance is easier, products are designed to last as long as possible, and costs are thus much lower.

Question:
