A grain silo (Punjab farm) is a cylinder of radius 3.5 m and height 7 m, capped by a cone of slant height 5 m of the same radius. The metal sheet needed for the curved walls and the conical roof (no floor) in m2, taking π = 722, is: (CSA = curved surface area, TSA = total surface area)

A209m2
B154m2
C55m2
D264m2
Step-by-Step Solution
Cyl CSA = 2*π*r∗h=2∗(722)∗3.5×7=154. Cone CSA = π*r∗l=(722)∗3.5×5=55. Total =154+55=209m2.
Answer: A) 209m2
