Given:

The ratio of the radius to the height of the cylinder = 6 : 7

Volume of the cylinder = 792 cm³

Formula used:

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Curved surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh

Calculation:

Let the common ratio be x.

Then, the radius r = 6x and the height h = 7x.

Using the volume formula:

π(6x)²(7x) = 792

⇒ π × 36x² × 7x = 792

⇒ 252πx³ = 792

Take π as 22/7:

⇒ 252 × 22/7 × x³ = 792

⇒ 792x³ = 792

⇒ x³ = 1

⇒ x = 1

Thus, radius r = 6x = 6 × 1 = 6 cm

And height h = 7x = 7 × 1 = 7 cm

Now, calculate the curved surface area:

Curved surface area = 2πrh = 2 × 22/7 × 6 × 7

= 2 × 22 × 6

= 264 cm²

∴ The curved surface area of the cylinder is 264 cm².
