Answer

Let the original radius and height of a cylinder be r and h units, respectively.

Given, radius of the cylinder is doubled.

∴ New radius = 2r

Let H be the new height of the cylinder.

By formula,

Curved surface area = 2π x radius x height

Original curved surface area = 2πrh

New curved surface area = 2π x (2r) x H = 4πrH

Given,

Curved surface area remains same.

⇒ 2πrh = 4πrH

⇒ H = 2πr4πrh=h2\dfrac{2πr}{4πr}h = \dfrac{h}{2}.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
