    Correct Answer: Option n
    Explanation:
    (a) Area of curved surface of cylinder = \(2\pi r h\)
    = \(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 10cm^{2} = 440 cm^{2}\)
    Area of the base of cylinder = \(\pi r^{2}\)
    = \(\frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 = 154 cm^{2}\)
    Surface area of hemisphere = \(\frac{4\pi r^{2}}{2} = 2 \pi r^{2}\)
    = \(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 = 308 cm^{2}\)
    \(\therefore\) Total surface area = 440 + 154 + 308 = 902cm\(^{2}\)
    (b) Volume of cylinder = \(\pi r^{2} h\)
    = \(\frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 \times 10 = 1540 cm^{3}\)
    Volume of hemisphere = \(\frac{1}{2}(\frac{4\pi r^{3}}{3})\)
    = \(\frac{4 \times 22 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7}{2 \times 7 \times 3}\)
    = \(718.67 cm^{3}\)
    Total volume = 1540 + 718.67 = 2258.67 cm\(^{3}\).
