In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of
Reason just below it. Of the statements, mark the correct answer as

(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false but reason is true.
10. Assertion: Total surface area of the cylinder having radius of the base 14 cm and height 30 cm is 3872
2
cm .
Reason: If r be the radius and h be the height of the cylinder, then total surface area ¿ 2 πrh+2 π r 2.
11. Assertion: If the height of a cone is 24 cm and diameter of the base is 14 cm, then the slant height of the
cone is 15 cm.
Reason: If r be the radius and h be the slant height of the cone, then slant height √ h2 +r 2
