# Q : 6    The slant height and base diameter of a conical tomb are 25 m and 14 m respectively. Find the cost of white-washing its curved surface at the rate of Rs 210 per $\small 100\hspace{1mm}m^2$.

Given, a conical tomb

The base diameter of the cone = $d =14\ m$

Slant height $= l = 25\ m$

We know, Curved surface area of a cone $= \pi r l$

$\\ = \frac{22}{7}\times\frac{14}{2}\times25 \\ \\ = 22\times25 \\ = 550\ m^2$

Now, Cost of whitewashing per $\small 100\hspace{1mm}m^2$ =$\small Rs.\ 210$

$\therefore$ Cost of whitewashing per $\small 550\hspace{1mm}m^2$ = $\small \\ Rs. (\frac{210}{100}\times550 )$

$\small \\ = Rs.\ (21\times55 ) = Rs.\ 1155$

Therefore, the cost of white-washing its curved surface of the tomb is  $\small Rs.\ 1155$
