Solution

Let the original radius of the base of cylinder = rLet the original height of cylinder = hNow, original base area of the cylinder, S = πr2Now, original LSA of cylinder, A = 2πrh ............1When the altitude is increased to 6 times of its initial value and base area is decreased one-ninth of its initial value:Let the new height of the cylinder = h'Let the new radius of base of cylinder = r'Now, new base area of cylinder, S' = πr'2 Now, it is given that,new height of cylinder = 6×original height of cylinderh' = 6hAlso, new base area of cylinder = 19original base area of the cylinderS' = 19Sπr'2 = 19πr2r'2 = r32r' = r3Now, new LSA of cylinder, A' = 2πr'h' A' = 2π × r3 × 6h = 2×2πrhA' = 2 A Using 1Hence, lateral surface area of the cylinder becomes twice of the original.So, option d is correct.
