Given:

The slant height of a cone is 10 cm, and the radius is 6 cm.

Formula used:

The curved surface area of the cone = πrl

The radius is r cm and the slant height is l

l2 = r2 + h2.

Total surface = πr(l+r)

Calculation:

As per the question,

The Total surface area of the cone is,

⇒ πr(l+r)

⇒ 3.14 × 6 (10+6)

⇒ 3.14 × 6 × 16

⇒ 301.44 cm2

∴ The correct option is 4
