Detailed Solution

The total surface area is minimum when $π^{2} r^{3} = V (π + 2)$
$\begin{aligned} Since, V = \frac{1}{2} π r^{2} h \\ \Rightarrow \frac{π^{2} r^{3}}{(π + 2)} = \frac{1}{2} π r^{2} h \\ \Rightarrow \frac{π r}{(π + 2)} = \frac{1}{2} h \\ \Rightarrow \frac{h}{2 r} = \frac{π}{π + 2} \end{aligned}$
