If the radius of cylinder is halved and height is doubled, then what will be the curved surface area?

  • A.
    increase by 1

  • B.the same
  • C.double
  • D.triple

Answer: B

The curved surface area of a cylinder is

\[ \text{CSA} = 2\pi r h \]

Halving the radius and doubling the height gives

\[ 2\pi \left(\frac{r}{2}\right)(2h) = 2\pi r h \]

The two changes cancel exactly, so the curved surface area is the same. The volume does not survive the same way: \( \pi (r/2)^{2}(2h) = \tfrac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}h \), halving, because volume depends on \( r^{2} \) while curved surface area depends on \( r \) alone.
