Given:

The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder is 616 cm2

The area of its base is 38.5 cm2

Formula used:

Curved Surface Area (CSA) = 2πrh

Area of Base = πr2

Volume = πr2h

Calculation:

CSA = 616 cm2

⇒ 2πrh = 616

⇒ 2 × (22/7) × r × h = 616

⇒ rh = 616 × 7 / 44 = 98

Area of Base = 38.5 cm2

⇒ πr2 = 38.5

⇒ (22/7) × r2 = 38.5

⇒ r2 = 12.25

⇒ r = √12.25 = 3.5 cm

Now, rh = 98

⇒ 3.5h = 98

⇒ h = 28 cm

Volume = πr2h

⇒ Volume = (22/7) × (3.5)2 × 28

⇒ Volume = (22/7) × 12.25 × 28

⇒ Volume = 1078 cm3

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
