Correct Answer - Option 2 : 28 cm

Given:

Total surface area : Curved surface area = 8 : 3

Volume of cone = 12936 cm3

Formula used:

Total surface area (T.S.A) = πr(r + l)

Curved surface area (C.S.A) = πrl

\({\rm{h}} = {\rm{\;}}\sqrt {{{\rm{l}}^{2{\rm{\;}}}} - {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{r}}^2}} \)

Volume = \(\left( {\frac{1}{3}} \right) \times {\rm{\pi }} \times {{\rm{r}}^2} \times {\rm{h}}\)

l = slant height of a cone

r = radius of the base

h = height of a cone

Calculation:

πr(r + l) : πrl = 8x : 5x

⇒ (r + l) : l = 8x : 5x

⇒ (r + l – l) = (8x – 5x)

⇒ r = 3x

\({\rm{h}} = {\rm{\;}}\sqrt {{{\rm{l}}^{2{\rm{\;}}}} - {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{r}}^2}} \)

⇒ \({\rm{h}} = {\rm{\;}}\sqrt {{{\rm{(5x)}}^{2{\rm{\;}}}} - {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{(3x)}}^2}} \)

⇒ \({\rm{h}} = {\rm{\;}}\sqrt {{{\rm{25x}}^{2{\rm{\;}}}} - {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{9x}}^2}} \)

⇒ \({\rm{h}} = {\rm{\;}}\sqrt {16{{\rm{x}}^2}} \)

⇒ h = 4x

\(\left( {\frac{1}{3}} \right) \times {\rm{\pi }} \times {{\rm{r}}^2} \times {\rm{h}}\) = 12936

\(\left( {\frac{1}{3}} \right) \times {\frac{22}{7}} \times {{\rm{9x}}^2} \times {\rm{4x}}\) = 12936

\(\frac{{264{{\rm{x}}^3}}}{7}{\rm{\;}}\)= 12936

\(\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^3}}}{7}{\rm{\;}}\)= 49

⇒ x3 = 343

⇒ x = 7

⇒ 4x = 28

∴ Height of the cone is 28 cm
