If the radius of another right circular cylinder (B) is 3.5 metre more than the radius of cylinder (A), what is the circumference of base of cylinder (B) ? (in metre)

(1) 64

(2) 66

(3) 80

(4) 88

(5) 44

Correct Answer: (2)

Solution: (2)

For cylinder A,

$r+h=31$ metre

$\because$ Total surface area $=1364$ sq. metre

$\Rightarrow 2 \pi r(h+r)=1364$

$\Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 31=1364$

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{1364 \times 7}{2 \times 22 \times 31}=7$ metre

$\therefore$ Radius of the base of cylinder B $=(7+3.5)$ metre $=10.5$ metre

$\therefore$ Circumference of base $=\left(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 10.5\right)$ metre $=66$ metre
