Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
\(\frac{x}{4} = \frac{6 + x}{6}\)
6x = 4(6 + x) = 24 + 4x
x = 12cm
CSA = \(\pi RL - \pi rl\)
= \(\pi (6) \sqrt{{18^2} + 6^2} - \pi \times 4 \times \sqrt{{12^2} + 4^2}\)
= 6\(\pi \sqrt{360} - 4 \pi \sqrt{160}\)
= 36\(\pi \sqrt{10} - 16 \pi \sqrt{10}\)
= 20\(\pi \sqrt{10}\)cm2

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The word "sobbed" indicates a deep and loud cry, usually accompanied by convulsive breaths. The opposite of crying or sobbing is laughing. Therefore, option D, "laughed," is the most appropriate choice as it represents the opposite action, indicating a joyful or amused expression rather than the distress implied by "sobbed."
