The ratio of volume and curved surface area of a cone is \(2\sqrt5 : 3\). If the difference between radius and height of the cone is 5 cm, then what will be the curved surface area (in cm2) of the cone?
Answer
Correct Answer : c ) \(50\sqrt5π\)
Explanation :Let us assume r, h, and L be the radius, height and slant height of the cone.
According to the question,
\({Volume \ of \ cone \over Curved \ surface \ area \ of \ cone}={{1\over3 }πr^2h \over πrL}\)
⇒\({{1\over3 }πr^2h \over πrL}={2\sqrt5\over 3}\)
⇒\({rh\over3L}={2\sqrt5\over3}\)
⇒\(rh=2\sqrt5L\) …. (1)
Now, we know for a cone
r2+h2=L2…….(2)
According to the question,
r – h = 5 …… (3)
Squaring both sides, we get,
r2 + h2 – 2rh = 25 …. (4)
From equation 2 and 4
25 + 2rh = L2
Now, from equation 1
⇒\(25+2×2\sqrt5L=L^2\)
⇒\(L^2-4\sqrt5 L-25=0\)
⇒\(L^2-5\sqrt5L+\sqrt5L-25=0\)
⇒\(L(L-5\sqrt5)+\sqrt5(L-5\sqrt5)=0\)
⇒\(L=5\sqrt5\), and \(L=-\sqrt5\ (Not \ possible)\)
Thus, \(L=5\sqrt5\)
Putting value of L in equation 1
⇒\(rh=2\sqrt5×5\sqrt5\)
⇒ rh = 50 …. (5)
From equation 3 and 5
Radius of cone = 10 cm and height of cone = 5 cm
Therefore,
Curved surface area of cone=\(πrL\)
⇒\(π×10×5\sqrt5=50\sqrt5π\)
Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
