Question : A right circular cylindrical tunnel of diameter 5 cm and length 10 cm is to be constructed from a sheet of iron. The area of the iron sheet required will be:
Option 1: $52\pi \ \text{cm}^2$
Option 2: $50\pi \ \text{cm}^2$
Option 3: $51\pi \ \text{cm}^2$
Option 4: $49\pi \ \text{cm}^2$
Correct Answer: $50\pi \ \text{cm}^2$
Solution :
Given: diameter = 5 cm and height = 10 cm
$r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \, \text{cm}$
The lateral surface area of a cylinder \(= 2\pi rh\)
The lateral surface area of a cylinder $ = 2\pi \times 2.5 \times 10 = 50\pi $
Hence, the correct answer is $50\pi \ \text{cm}^2$.
