Correct Answer: 2 cm


Solution : The formula of the curved surface area ($CSA$) of a right circular cone is given by:
CSA = $\pi × r × l$, where
$r$ is the radius of the base,
$l$ is the slant height,
According to the question.
⇒ CSA = $\pi × r × l$
⇒ $44 = \frac{22​}{7} × r ×7$
⇒ $r = \frac{44}{\frac{22}{7} × r × 7}  = \frac{44}{22} = 2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2 cm
