Multiple choice

A solid cylinder has a total surface area of $462$ $\displaystyle cm^{3}$ Its curved surface area is one-third of its total surface area . The volume of the cylinder is :$\displaystyle \left ( \pi =\frac{22}{7} \right )$

  1. $792$ $\displaystyle cm^{3}$
  2. $539$ $\displaystyle cm^{3}$
  3. $495$ $\displaystyle cm^{3}$
  4. $676$ $\displaystyle cm^{3}$

B Correct answer
Explanation

The curved surface area is 462/3 = 154 cm^2. Using the total and curved surface area equations gives radius 7 cm and height 3.5 cm, so the volume is pi x 7^2 x 3.5 = 539 cm^3. The surface-area unit in the question should be cm^2.
