    The volume of a conical tent is 1232 cm am the area of its bases is \[14\,{{m}^{2}}.\] Find the length of the canvas required to build the tent, if the canvas is 2 m in width. \[\left( take\,\pi \frac{22}{7} \right)\]

    A) 270 m              

    B) 272 m

    C) 276 m              

    D) 275 m

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let radius of base of conical tent be r cm and its height be hem.
    Then    
    \[\pi {{r}^{2}}=154\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{r}^{2}}=154\times \frac{7}{22}=49\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[r=7\,cm\]
    and       \[\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h=1232\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[h=1232\times 3\times \frac{7}{22}\times \frac{1}{7\times 7}=24\,cm\]
    Now, \[l=\sqrt{{{r}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}}=\sqrt{49+576}=\sqrt{625}=25\,cm\]
    \[\therefore \] Area of required canvas
    = Curved surface of tent \[=\pi rl\]
    \[=\frac{22}{7}\times 7\times 25=550\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
    \[\therefore \] Length of canvas \[=\frac{550}{2}=275\,m\]
