Correct Answer: 2475


Solution : The curved surface area (CSA) of a cone is given by the formula:
$\text{CSA} = \pi r l$
Where $r$ is the radius and $l$ is the slant height.
Given that the radius $r$ is 21 cm and the slant height $l$ is 25 cm.
$\text{CSA} = \pi \times 21 \, \text{cm} \times 25 \, \text{cm} = 525\pi \, \text{cm}^2$
The cost of painting the curved part of the vessel is calculated by multiplying the CSA by the cost per square cm.
Given that the cost of painting is Rs. 1.5 per cm2, the total cost of painting $= 525\pi  \times 1.5 = 525\times \frac{22}{7}\times 1.5= \text{Rs.}\;2475$
Hence, the correct answer is 2475.
