Option 3: 26.7

Option 4: 25.9

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 25.9


Solution : According to the question
$\pi rl = 2310$, where $r$ = radius and $l$ = slant height.
⇒ $\frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times l = 2310$
⇒ $l = 35$
Now, for height($h$):
$l^2 = r^2 + h^2$
⇒ $35^2 = 21^2 + h^2$
⇒ $h^2
