Correct Answer: $\left ( 2\sqrt{2}-2 \right )\ \text{cm}$
Solution : Given: Height of the cylinder = 4 cm Total surface area = 8$\pi$ cm 2 ⇒ $2\pi r(h+r) = 8\pi$ ⇒ $r(4+r) = 4$ ⇒ $r^2+4r-4=0$ Using quadratic formula: $r= \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ ⇒ $r= \frac{-4\pm \sqrt{4^2+4\times1\times4}}{2\times1}$ ⇒ $r= \frac{-4\pm \sqrt{16+16}}{2}$ ⇒ $r=\frac{-4\pm 4\sqrt{2}}{2}$ $\therefore r=(2\sqrt{2}-2)\ \text{cm}$ Hence, the correct answer is $(2\sqrt{2}-2)\ \text{cm}$.
