Question:

What is the volume of a right circular cylinder whose curved surface area is 12 π cm2 and the circumference of its base is 4 π cm?

Options:

48π cm3

36π cm3

12π cm3

24π cm3

Correct Answer:

12π cm3

Explanation:

We know that,

Curved surface area = 2πrh  

Circumference = 2πr

The volume of the cylinder = πr2h

We have,

The curved surface area of right circular cylinder = 12π cm2. 

Circumference  = 4π cm2

So,

= 2 × πr = 4 × π

= r = 2 cm

Curved surface area = 12 × π

=  2 × πrh = 12 × π

= 2 × 2 × h = 12

= h = 3 cm.

Now,

The volume of the cylinder =  πr2h

Volume = π × (2)2 × 3 = 12π cm3
