Right Answer is:

SOLUTION

Solution:

5

As per the parameters given in the question, we have

Diameter of the cylinder = 20 m

Radius of the cylinder = 10 m

Height of the cylinder (say h1) = 2.5 m

Radius of the cone = Radius of the cylinder (say r) = 15 m

Height of the Cone (say h2) =7.5 m

Let us consider L as the slant height of the Cone, then

L = r2+h22

= 152+7.52=12.5 m

Volume of the cylinder, V1=πr2h1=π(10)2×2.5=250π m3

Volume of the Cone, V2=13πr2h2=13×227×(10)2×7.5=250π m3

             Therefore, The total capacity of the tent = volume of the cylinder + volume of the cone = V1 + V2

V = 250 π + 250 π

V = 500 π m3

Hence, the total capacity of the tent =    V = 4478.5714 m3

                        The total area of the canvas required for the tent is S = 2 πrh1 + πrL

S = 2(π)(10)(2.5) + π(10)(12.5)

S = 550 m2

Therefore, the total cost of the canvas is (100) (550) = Rs. 55000
