Question : If the slant height and radius of a right circular cone are 28 cm and 21 cm, respectively, then the total surface area of the right circular cone (in cm2) is: (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: 3234
Option 2: 3342
Option 3: 3243
Option 4: 3324
Correct Answer: 3234
Solution : Given: Slant height, $l$ = 28 cm Radius, $r$ = 21 cm The total surface area of the cone = $\pi r(l+r)$ = $\frac{22}{7}\times21(28+21)$ = $22\times3\times49$ = $3234\ \text{cm}^2$ Hence, the correct answer is 3234 cm2.
