Question
Twenty cylindrical pillars of a building are to be cleaned. If the diameter of a pillar is 0.5 m and height is 4 m, what will be the cost of cleaning them at the rate of र 3 per m2. (Take
= 3.14)
Solution
For a pillar
Radius (r) =
Radius (r) =

Height (h) = 4 m
∴ Curved surface area = 2πrh
= 2 x 3.14 x 0.25 x 4 = 6.28 m2
∴ Curved surface area of 20 pillars
= 6.28 x 20 m2 = 125.6 m2
∴ Cost of cleaning them
= 125.6 x 3 = र 376.80
