Option 2 : 96π
Given:
The volume of a cylinder is equal to the volume of a sphere whose radius is 6 cm.
The height of the cylinder is 4/3rd of its radius.
Formula used:
Volume of cylinder = πr2h
Volume of sphere = 4/3 πR3
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh
Calculation:
⇒ Suppose the radius of the cylinder is 3x and the height of the cylinder is 4x.
⇒ 4/3 × π × 63 = π(3x)2 × (4x)
⇒ 288 = 36x3
⇒ x3 = 8
⇒ x = 2
∴ Radius of sphere, 3x = 6 cm and height of the cylinder, 4x = 8 cm
∴ Curved surface area of the cylinder = 2πrh
⇒ 2π(6)(8)
⇒ 96π
