Solution

The correct option is C 0.5

Let the initial radius of the cylinder is R and the final radius of the cylinder is r.
H is the height of the cylinder.

Initial curved surface area of cylinder = 2 πRH

Final curved surface area of cylinder = 2π r(2H)

According to the question, initial and final curved surface areas remains equal.

Thus, 2π RH = 2π r(2H)
r=12R
