Question : The radius of the base of a cylinder is 14 cm and its volume is 6160 cm3. The curved surface area (in cm2) is: (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)

Option 1: 778

Option 2: 880

Option 3: 660

Option 4: 940

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 880


Solution : The volume of a cylinder, $V = \pi r^2 h$, where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height.
⇒ $h = \frac{V}{\pi r^2}$
Given that $V = 6160 \, \text{cm}^3$, $r = 14 \, \text{cm}$, and $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$
$\therefore h = \frac{6160}{\frac{22}{7}
