The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Set up the surface area integral.
To find the surface area, we use the formula: \[ A = \iint_S \sqrt{1 + \left( \frac{\partial z}{\partial x} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\partial z}{\partial y} \right)^2} \, dA. \] Substitute \( z = \frac{xy}{3} \) and calculate the partial derivatives.
Step 2: Perform the integration.
After simplifying the integrals, we find the surface area lies within the interval \( (20\pi, 22\pi) \).
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct answer is (A).
