Answer: Option B. -> 3.5% increase
Let original height = h and original radius = r
New height = 115% of h $$\frac{23h}{20}$$
New radius = 90% of r $$\frac{9r}{10}$$
Original curved surface area = $$2\pi rh$$
New curved surface area :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {2\pi \times \frac{{9r}}{{10}} \times \frac{{23h}}{{20}}} \right) \cr
& = \frac{{207}}{{200}} \times 2\pi rh \cr} $$
Increase in curved surface area :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{207}}{{200}} \times 2\pi rh - 2\pi rh} \right) \cr
& = \frac{7}{{200}} \times 2\pi rh \cr} $$
∴ Increase % :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{7}{{200}} \times 2\pi rh \times \frac{1}{{2\pi rh}} \times 100} \right)\% \cr
& = 3.5\% \cr} $$

Answer: Option D. -> 28 cm
Volume of the tank = 246.4 litres = 246400 cm3
Let the radius of the base be r cm
Then,
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {\frac{{22}}{7} \times {r^2} \times 400} \right) = 246400 \cr
& \Rightarrow {r^2} = \left( {\frac{{246400 \times 7}}{{22 \times 400}}} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow {r^2} = 196 \cr
& \Rightarrow r = 14 \cr} $$
∴ Diameter of the base = 2r = 28 cm

Answer: Option C. -> 15 m
Let the radius of base = r and height = h
Required floor area :
= (4 × 11) m2 = 44 m2
Required volume :
= (20 × 11) m3 = 220 m3
So,
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{3}\pi {r^2}h = 220 \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \times 44 \times h = 220 \cr
& \Rightarrow h = \frac{{220 \times 3}}{{44}} \cr
& \Rightarrow h = 15\,m \cr} $$
Let the radius of base = r and height = h
Required floor area :
= (4 × 11) m2 = 44 m2
