Explanation:

- The perimeter of the base (a circle) is given as 44 cm, so 2pr = 44 ? r = 44/(2p) = 7 cm.

- The height (h) of the cone is 24 cm.

- The slant height (l) is found using Pythagoras: l = v(r² + h²) = v(7² + 24²) = v(49 + 576) = v625 = 25 cm.

- Curved surface area (CSA) of a cone is prl = p × 7 × 25 = 22/7 × 7 × 25 = 22 × 25 = 550 cm².

Option Analysis:

- Option 1: 550 ( Correct, matches calculation)

- Option 2: 1100 (Double the correct answer)

- Option 3: 2200 (Four times correct answer)

- Option 4: 650 (Incorrect, does not fit the formula)

Correct Option: 1, 550
