Question:

The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height 14 cm is 88 cm2. The diameter of the base of the cylinder is (Use $π=\frac{22}{7}$)

Options:

2 cm

4 cm

5 cm

0.5 cm

Correct Answer:

2 cm

Explanation:

We know that,

Area of a cylinder = 2πrh

We have,

Curved surface area of a cylinder = 88cm2

Height =14cm

According to the question,

2πrh = 88

2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r × 14 = 88

r = 1 cm

So, the diameter = 2cm
