MCQ
If two solid$-$hemispheres of same base radius $r$ are joined together along their bases, then curved surface area of this new solid is:
  • A
    $6\pi\text{r}^2$
  • B
    $8\pi\text{r}^2$
  • C
    $3\pi\text{r}^2$
  • $4\pi\text{r}^2$

Answer

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