Solution

The correct option is D: 80.58 cm2

Radius of the ball =4.22=2.1 cm

Surface area of the ball =4πr2=4×π(4.22)2=17.64π cm2

In case of each dimple, surface area is equal to πr2 is removed from the surface of the ball where as the surface area of hemisphere =2πr2 is exposed to the surroundings.

Total surface exposed to the surrounding = Surface area of the ball +200×πr2

=17.64π+200π×(210)2 [ Radius of ball =2 mm=210 cm]

=17.64π+8π

=25.64×227 cm2

=564.087=80.58 cm2

Hence, the total surface area exposed to the surroundings is 80.58 cm2
