Question
A cylindrical pillar is 50 cm in diameter and 3.5 m in height. Find the cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of र 12.50 per m2.
Solution
2r = 50 cm
∴ r = 25 cm = 0.25 m h = 3.5 m
∴ Curved surface area of the pillar = 2πrh
Cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of र 12.50 per m2
= र 5.5 x 12.50 = र 68.75.
