Correct Answer :

Option C

0.08m

0.08m

Solution :

To find the diameter of the base of the cylinder, we can use the formula for the curved surface area (CSA) of a right circular cylinder.

The formula for the curved surface area of a cylinder is:
CSA=2πrh
where:
- r is the radius of the base of the cylinder,
- h is the height of the cylinder,
- π is approximately equal to 227.

From the problem, we are given:
- Height, h=56 cm
- Curved surface area, CSA=1408 cm2

Substituting the given values into the formula:
1408=2×227×r×56

Simplify the right side of the equation by dividing 56 by 7:
1408=2×22×r×8

Multiply the constants:
1408=352×r

Solve for the radius r:
r=1408352
r=4 cm

The diameter (d) of the base is twice the radius:
d=2r
d=2×4 cm=8 cm

Now, we convert the diameter from centimeters to meters to match the given options. Since 1 m=100 cm:
d=8100 m=0.08 m

Therefore, the diameter of the base of the cylinder is 0.08m.
