Detailed Solution

We have to find the lateral surface area of a cylinder.
We know,
Area of lateral surface of cylinder = Curved surface of cylinder
Also we know,
Circumference, C=2πr where r is the radius of cylinder.
Therefore,
Curved surface of cylinder = Circular base's circumference×height
Therefore, lateral surface area of a cylinder =2πrh Hence, option 3 is correct.
