Correct Option: B

The total surface area of an open-ended cylinder is given by the formula:

Total Surface Area = Curved Surface Area + Area of the base

  1. Identify the values:

    • Length (h) = 50 cm = 0.5 m
    • Radius (r) = 7 m
  2. Calculate the Curved Surface Area:

    • Curved Surface Area = 2πrh
    • Curved Surface Area = 2 * π * 7 m * 0.5 m = 7π m²
  3. Calculate the Area of the base:

    • Area of the base = πr²
    • Area of the base = π * (7 m)² = 49π m²
