Step-by-Step Solution

Volume litres mL. , so 30 packets are filled completely.
Answer: B) 30

Key idea: Surface area and volume of a cylinder

A cylinder is a circle stacked vertically. Two measurements: radius and height .

**Curved surface area (CSA) = 2π** (imagine 'unrolling' the curved surface — it becomes a rectangle of width 2π and height h).

**Total surface area (TSA) = 2πππ** (curved surface + two circular ends).

**Volume = π** (area of circular base × height).

Use π = 22/7 when is a multiple of 7; otherwise π ≈ 3.14.
