Solution
The correct option is A LB
The cylinder is a 3-D object. To find its surface area we need to convert it into a 2-D plane. Here the 3-D surface of the cylinder can be unrolled into a 2-D rectangular paper sheet. The area of the 3-D surface and that of the 2-D plane are the same. It is clear that the area of rectangle = Length × Breadth= LB
