Correct Answer: 28 cm


Solution : Given: The curved surface area of a cylinder is 968 cm 2 .
The height of the cylinder is 11 cm.
The curved surface area of a cylinder of radius $r$ and height $h$ is $2\pi rh$.
According to the question,
$2\times \frac{22}{7}\times r\times 11=968$
⇒ $r=\frac{968\times 7}{22\times 2\times 11}=14$ cm
The diameter of its base is $2r=2\times 14=28$ cm.
Hence, the correct answer is 28 cm.
