Thus, we can find the slant height with the help of Pythagoras theorem. Question Image

Hence, the slant height of the conical cap is 5 cm.
the curved surface area of a cone is given by the formula

Hence, the area of paper required for one cap is

The available area of sheet available with us

Therefore, we can find the number of caps as the quotient of the total sheet available with us and the area of sheet required for one cap.

We have 21 caps that can be manufactured.
So, option 1 is correct.
