(A) Slant height = 35 cm

(B) Slant height = 33 cm

(C) Volume = 12936 cm³

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Given base radius r=21r = 21 cm and height h=28h = 28 cm.


Checking Statement (A): Slant height = 35 cm

The slant height is given by:

l=r2+h2l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}

l=212+282l = \sqrt{21^2 + 28^2}

l=441+784l = \sqrt{441 + 784}

l=1225l = \sqrt{1225}

l=35l = 35 cm

Statement (A) is correct.


Checking Statement (B): Slant height = 33 cm

The slant height calculated above is 35 cm, not 33 cm.

Statement (B) is incorrect.


Checking Statement (C): Volume = 12936 cm³

The volume of a cone is:

V=13×π×r2×hV = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times r^2 \times h

V=13×227×212×28V = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21^2 \times 28

V=13×227×441×28V = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 441 \times 28

V=22×441×2821V = \frac{22 \times 441 \times 28}{21}

V=22×21×28V = 22 \times 21 \times 28

V=462×28V = 462 \times 28

V=12936V = 12936 cm³

Statement (C) is correct.


Checking Statement (D): Curved Surface Area = 2310 cm²

The curved surface area is:

CSA=π×r×l\text{CSA} = \pi \times r \times l

CSA=227×21×35\text{CSA} = \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 35

CSA=22×3×35\text{CSA} = 22 \times 3 \times 35

CSA=66×35\text{CSA} = 66 \times 35

CSA=2310\text{CSA} = 2310 cm²

Statement (D) is correct.


Statements (A), (C), and (D) are correct.
