Once upon a time in Ghaziabad was a corn cob seller. During the lockdown period in the year 2020, his business
was almost lost.
So, he started selling corn grains online through Amazon and Flipcart. Just to understand how many grains he
will have from one corn cob, he started counting them.
Being a student of mathematics let's calculate it mathematically. Let's assume that one corn cob (see Fig.),
shaped somewhat like a cone, has the radius of its broadest end as 2.1 cm and length as 20 cm.

(i) Find the curved surface area of the corn cub.

(ii) What is the volume of the corn cub?
