Solution

The correct option is A

1099 m


Surface area of cylinder = 2πrh = 2π(7)(2) = 87.92 m2.

Imagine a cloth used to cover a cylinder is unfold, what shape it appears to be, it would be a rectangle. So, each time the roller would revolve on the road it would cover an area of a rectangle exactly equal to the surface area of the cylinder.

So, as the roller revolves for 25 times it would cover an area of (25 × 87.92)m2 = 2198 m2.

This area would be equal to the area of the rectangle formed by the road i.e. 2198 = 'l' × 2. Hence 'l' = 1099m
