Each question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). For selecting the correct answer, use the following code:
Assertion (A): The curved surface area of a cone of base radius 3 cm and height 4 cm is (15π) cm2.
Reason (R): Volume of a cone = πr2h.
Assertion is correct and Reason is Wrong.
Explanation:
Assertion (A):
Given: A cone of radius 3cm and height 4cm.
CSA of the cone is given by: πrl (here r is radius and l is slant height)
l = √(h2 + r2)
Let S be the CSA of the cone
∴ S = πrl = π × r × √(h2 + r2)
⇒ S = π × 4 × √(42 + 32) = π × 3 × √(16 + 9) = π × 3 × √(25) = π × 3 × 5 = 15π
∴ S =15π
Reason (R):
Volume of a cone is : πr2h
∴ Assertion is correct and Reason is Wrong.
