A bus stop is barricaded from the remaining part of the road, by using 50 hollow cones made of recycled cardboard. Each cone has a base diameter of 40 cm and height 1 m. If the outer side of each of the cones is to be painted and the cost of painting is Rs. 12 per m2, what will be the cost of painting all these cones? (Use π = 3.14 and take √(1.04) =1.02)
Radius of cone, r = diameter/2
= 40/2 cm = 20cm
= 0.2 m
Height of cone, h = 1 m
Slant height of cone is l, and l2 = (r2 + h2)
Using given values, l2 = (0.22 + 12)
= (1.04)
l = 1.02
Slant height of the cone is 1.02 m
CSA of each cone = πrl
= (3.14 × 0.2 × 1.02)
= 0.64056
CSA of 50 such cones = (50 × 0.64056)
= 32.028
CSA of 50 such cones = 32.028 m2
Cost of painting 1 m2 area = Rs 12 (given)
Cost of painting 32.028 m2 area = Rs (32.028 × 12)
= Rs.384.336
= Rs.384.34 (approximately)
Therefore, the cost of painting all these cones is Rs. 384.34.
