MCQ
If the TSA of a solid hemisphere is $12\pi\text{ sq.cm}$ then its CSA is:
  • A
    $2\pi\text{ sq.cm}$
  • B
    $12\pi\text{ sq.cm}$
  • C
    $8\pi\text{ sq.cm}$
  • D
    $16\pi\text{ sq.cm}$

Answer

  1. $8\pi\text{ sq.cm}$

Solution:

Given: TSA of solid hemisphere $=12\pi\text{ sq.cm}$

$\Rightarrow3\pi\text{r}^2=12\pi$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}^2=4$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}=2\text{cm}$

$\therefore$ CSA of hemisphere $=2\pi\text{r}^2=2\pi(2)^2=8\pi\text{ sq.cm}$
