749\(\pi\)m2
B
700\(\pi\)m2
C
350\(\pi\)m2
D
98\(\pi\)m2

Correct Option: B

To calculate the total surface area of the cylindrical pipe, we need to consider the curved surface area and the area of the open end (which is a circle). Since one end is open, we do not include the area of that end in the calculation.

Here's how to solve it:

  1. Convert units: The length is given in cm, while the radius is in meters. Convert the length to meters:

    • Length = 50 cm = 0.5 m
  2. Curved surface area: The formula for the curved surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height (length).

    • Curved surface area = 2 * π * 7 m * 0.5 m =
