The slant height and base diameter of conical tomb are 25m and 14 m respectively. Find the cost of white-washing its curved surface at the rate of Rs. 210 per 100 m2. (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Slant height of conical tomb, l = 25m

Base radius, r = diameter/2 = 14/2 m = 7m

CSA of conical tomb = πrl

= (22/7)×7×25 = 550

CSA of conical tomb= 550m2

Cost of white-washing 550 m2 area, which is Rs (210×550)/100

= Rs. 1155

Therefore, cost will be Rs. 1155 while white-washing tomb.
