A cylindrical pillar is 50 cm in diameter and 3.5 m in height. Find the cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of Rs 12.50 per m2

Height (h) cylindrical pillar = 3.5 m

Radius (r) of the circular end of pillar = = 25 cm


= 0.25 m


CSA of pillar = 2πrh


= 2 * * 0.25 * 3.5 m2


= (44 * 0.125) m2


= 5.5 m2


Cost of painting 1 m2 area = Rs 12.50


Cost of painting 5.5 m2 area = Rs (5.5 × 12.50)


= Rs 68.75


Therefore, the cost of painting the CSA of the pillar is Rs 68.75
