Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Consider the following statements:

I. If the height of a cylinder is doubled, the area of the curved surface is doubled.

II. If the radius of a hemispherical solid is doubled, its total surface area becomes fourfold.


Statement I: If height of cylinder is doubled, curved surface area is doubled

Curved Surface Area of cylinder = 2πrh2\pi rh where rr is radius and hh is height.

Original CSA = 2πrh2\pi rh

When height is doubled, new height = 2h2h

New CSA = 2πr(2h)2\pi r(2h)

New CSA = 4πrh4\pi rh

New CSA = 2×(2πrh)2 \times (2\pi rh)

New CSA = 2×2 \times Original CSA

Statement I is true. The curved surface area depends directly on height, so doubling the height doubles the surface area.


Statement II: If radius of hemisphere is doubled, total surface area becomes fourfold

Total Surface Area of hemisphere = Curved surface + Flat circular base

Curved surface = 2πr22\pi r^2

Base area = πr2\pi r^2

TSA = 2πr2+πr22\pi r^2 + \pi r^2

TSA = 3πr23\pi r^2

Original TSA = 3πr23\pi r^2

When radius is doubled, new radius = 2r2r

New TSA = 3π(2r)23\pi(2r)^2

New TSA = 3π(4r2)3\pi(4r^2)

New TSA = 12πr212\pi r^2

New TSA = 4×(3πr2)4 \times (3\pi r^2)

New TSA = 4×4 \times Original TSA

Statement II is true. When the radius is doubled, the area formulas contain r2r^2, so (2r)2=4r2(2r)^2 = 4r^2, resulting in 4 times the area.


Both statements are true.

Therefore, the answer is Both I & II.
