Question: A cylinderical road roller has its length two times its base radius. If the base radius is 42 cm. How much area does it level, if it rolls once?
Options:
A) $ 22176cm^{2} $
B) $ 22374cm^{2} $
C) $ 21220cm^{2} $
D) $ 25370cm^{2} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Here, r = 42 cm and length of the roller (h) $ =2r $
Length of the roller $ =2\times 42=84cm $
When the roller rolls cover an area equal to its curved surface area.
$ \therefore $ Required area $ =2\pi rh=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 42\times 84 $
$ =22176cm^{2} $
