Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) its height is equal to its diameter.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the height of R.C. solid cylinder be h. Let the radius of it be r. So, its volume V=πr2h⇒h=Vπr2  ...i Again, total surface area S=2πrh+2πr2 ⇒S=2πr·Vπr2+2πr2 S=2Vr+2πr2 Differentiating w.r.t. r, we get…
