Question:
The base of a vertical pillar with uniform cross section is a trapezium whose parallel sides are of lengths 10 cm and 20 cm while the other two sides are of equal length. The perpendicular distance between the parallel sides of the trapezium is 12 cm. If the height of the pillar is 20 cm, then the total area, in sq cm, of all six surfaces of the pillar is

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (C):
Given, the non-parallel sides are equal.
Let the non-parallel sides be x cm each
x = √122+52 = 13
So, we have 6 faces, two are trapezoid faces and 4 are rectangular faces.
Area of 2 trapeziums
= 2[1/2(12)(10+20)]=360cm2
Area of 4 rectangles
= 2[13 × 20] + 20(20) + 10(20) = 1120 cm2
Total area = 1120 + 360 = 1480 cm2
