Correct Answer: 8


Solution : Given: Whole surface area = 340 cm 2
Area of each lateral face = 30 cm 2
Area of base = 100 cm 2
Whole surface area = lateral surface area + area of the base
⇒ 340 = lateral surface area + 100
$\therefore$ Lateral surface area = 240 cm 2
Thus, number of lateral faces = $\frac{240}{30}$ = 8
Hence, the correct answer is 8.
