Question 55

HardOriginal question

For a closed cylindrical container, the radius and the height add up to 37 cm, and the total surface area is 3,256 cm². What is its volume? Take π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Total surface = 2πr(r+h)=2×227×r×372\pi r (r + h) = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 37.

  2. So 16287r=3256\frac{1628}{7} r = 3256, giving r=14r = 14 cm and h=37−14=23h = 37 - 14 = 23 cm.

  3. Volume = 227×14×14×23=14,168\frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14 \times 23 = 14{,}168 cm³.

Worth noting

22,792 cm³ takes the height as 37 cm; the 37 is r+hr + h, not hh. 28,336 cm³ uses 2πr²h, mixing the 2 of the surface formula into the volume.

Concept
Using r + h inside 2πr(r + h)
