MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options: If two solid hemispheres of same base radius $r$ are joined together along their bases, then curved surface area of this new solid is:
  • $4\pi\text{r}^2$
  • B
    $6\pi\text{r}^2$
  • C
    $3\pi\text{r}^2$
  • D
    $8\pi\text{r}^2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$4\pi\text{r}^2$

Because curved surface area of a hemisphere is $2 w^2$ and here, we join two solid hemispheres along their bases of radius $r$, from which we get a solid sphere.
Hence, the curved surface area of new solid $=2\pi\text{r}^2+2\pi\text{r}^2=4\pi\text{r}^2$
