B. 2 : 1 : 3
C. 2 : 3 : 1
D. 3 : 2 : 1
Answer
Given, a cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height.
Thus, height of cone = height of cylinder = base radius = r

Surface Area and Volume of a Sphere

Find the Find the surface area of a sphere of radius :

Surface area of a shere = 4πr2, where r is radius

⇒ surface area = 4 × (22/7) × 142 = 2464 cm2

Find the surface area of a sphere of diameter :

Surface area of a sphere of diameter ‘d’ = πd2

⇒ surface area = (22/7) × (14)2 = 616 cm2
