Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The lateral surface area of a cylinder is the curved surface, excluding the top and bottom circles.

For a cylinder with radius rr and height hh:

Lateral surface area =2πrh= 2\pi rh

Match: (A) → (III)


A hemisphere is half of a sphere. The total surface area includes the curved dome and the flat circular base.

Curved surface area =2πr2= 2\pi r^2

Flat circular base =πr2= \pi r^2

Total surface area =2πr2+πr2= 2\pi r^2 + \pi r^2

=3πr2= 3\pi r^2

Match: (B) → (IV)


The lateral surface area of a cone is the slanted curved surface, excluding the base.

The slant height from the tip to the edge of the base =r2+h2= \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}

Lateral surface area =πr×slant height= \pi r \times \text{slant height}

=πrr2+h2= \pi r\sqrt{r^2 + h^2}

Match: (C) → (I)


The surface area of a sphere with radius rr:

Surface area =4πr2= 4\pi r^2

Match: (D) → (II)


Final matching:

(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
