Solution
Given diameter of cylinder=15ms ∴ radius=15ms/2=7.5ms height=2.4ms surface area of cylinder =2πrh =2*22/7*7.5*2.4 m*m =113.14m *m since it is given equal base radius is also equal ∴radius of cone =7.5ms given height =4m ∴l=√h*h+r*r l=√4*4+7.5*7.5 l=13.275 c.s.a. of cone =π*r*l =22/7 *7.5*13.2 =312.91m*m total surface area = c.s.a of cylinder +c.s.a of cone =113.14+312.91 =426.05m*m cost of canvas per m square =50RS ∴cost of canvas required=426.05*50 =21302.5 RS
