Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

In AMC, AM=3sin2θ & MC=3cos2θ

V=13πr2h where, r is radius and h is height of cone

V=13π3sin2θ23+3cos2θ

(since, radius of cone =AM and height of cone =MC)

V=π36sin2θcos2θ2cos2θ sin2θ=2sinθcosθ & cos2θ=2cos2θ-1

=72πsin2θcos4θ

Differentiating both sides with respect to θ, we get

dvdθ=72π2sinθcos5θ-4sin3θcos3θ

For maximum value, dVdθ=0

72π2sinθcos5θ-4sin3θcos3θ=0tan2θ=12

Thus, volume is maximum when tanθ=12

Hence, curved surface area S=πrl

=πr3+3cos2θ2+(3sin2θ)2 l=r2+h2

=π3sin2θ36cos2θ=18π2sinθcos2θ

=36π13.23=24π3=83π
