A tent of height 3.3 m is in the form of a right circular cylinder of diameter 12m and height 2.2m, surmounted by a right circular cone of the same diameter. Find the cost of the canvas of the tent at the rate of Rs. 500 per m2.

Given: Height of the tent = 3.3 m
The height of the cylindrical portion = 2.2 m
∴ The height of the conical portion
= Height of the tent – Height of the cylindrical portion
= 3.3 – 2.2
= 1.1m
Given Diameter of the cylinder, d = 12m

CSA of cylindrical portion = 2πrh
![]()
= 82.971 m2
Firstly, we have to find the slant height (l) of the conical portion
⇒ l2 = h2 + r2
⇒ l2 = (1.1)2 + (6)2
⇒ l2 = 1.21 + 36
⇒ l2 = 37.21
⇒ l = √37.21
⇒ l = 6.1m
∴ CSA of the conical portion = πrl
![]()
= 115.029 m2
So,
Total Surface Area of the tent = Surface area of conical portion + surface Area of cylindrical portion
= 115.029 + 82.971
= 198 m2
∴ Canvas required to make the tent = 198 m2
Cost of 1m2 canvas = Rs 500
Cost of 198 m2 canvas = Rs 500 × 198
= Rs 99000
