A right circular cylinder of maximum volume is cut from a solid cube of edge . The total surface of the cylinder is

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

When a right circular cylinder of maximum possible volume is carved out from a solid cube of side length :The height () of the cylinder will be equal to the edge length of the cube:

The base diameter of the cylinder will also equal the edge length of the cube, meaning its radius () is half the side length:

The mathematical formula for the Total Surface Area () of a cylinder is:

Using , substitute the values into the formula:
