Consider the following statements, which of them is/are correct?
A. If the height of cylinder is doubled, the area of curved surface is doubled.
B. If the radius of a hemispherical solid is doubled, its total surface area becomes fourfold.
C. If a hemisphere and cone have equal bases and equal heights, then the ratio of curved surface area is $$\sqrt{2}:1$$.
Let's analyse the statements.
Statement A:
Curved surface area of cylinder is given by the formula $$2\pi\ rh$$, where r is the radius of the base of cylinder and h is height
So, we can see in this area is directly proportional to height
So, if height is doubled, area will be doubled
So, statement A is correct.
Statement B:
Total surface area of hemisphere is given by the formula $$3\pi\ r^2$$
So, if radius is doubled, total surface area will become 4 times
So, statement B is also correct.
Statement C:
Let say the radius be r and height be h for both hemisphere and cone
So, curved surface area of cone = $$\pi\ rl$$ = $$\pi\ r\sqrt{\ r^2+h^2}$$
curved surface area of hemisphere = $$2\pi\ r^2$$
So, required ratio is = $$\dfrac{2\pi\ r^2}{\pi\ r\sqrt{\ r^2+h^2}}=\dfrac{2r}{\sqrt{\ r^2+h^2}}$$
From this we can't get a definite numerical value of ratio
So, statement C is wrong.
So, correct answer is option C.
