Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Curved surface area of a cylindrical tin = \(2\pi rh\)
\(\therefore 2\pi rh = 704cm^2\)
\(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 8 \times h = 704\)
\(h = \frac{704 \times 7}{2 \times 22 \times 8}\)
\(h = 14cm\)
Curved surface area of a cylindrical tin = \(2\pi rh\)
\(\therefore 2\pi rh = 704cm^2\)
\(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 8 \times h = 704\)
\(h = \frac{704 \times 7}{2 \times 22 \times 8}\)
\(h = 14cm\)
