Correct Answer: 17.5 cm


Solution : Given, Radius : Slant height = 5 : 7
Let radius = 5$m$ and slant height = 7$m$
Curved surface area of the cone = 1347.5 cm 2
⇒ $1347.5=\pi\times 5m\times 7m$
⇒ $1347.5=\frac{22}{7}\times 35m^2$
⇒ $m^2 = \frac{1347.5\times 7}{22\times 35}$
⇒ $m^2 = \frac{9432.5}{770}=12.25$
⇒ $m = \sqrt{12.25}=3.5$
So, the radius $= 5\times3.5 = 17.5$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 17.5 cm.
