Correct Answer: 99 m


Solution : Let the length of the 2 m wide cloth be $a$ metre.
Area of cloth = $2a$ m2
Diameter of tent = 14 m
Radius of tent, $r$ = $\frac{14}{2}$ = 7 m
Slant height, $l$ = 9 m
The curved surface area of the cloth
= $\pi rl$
= $\frac{22}{7} \times7\times9$
= 198 m2
 Now, the Area of cloth = Curved surface area of the conical tent
⇒ $2a = 198$
$\therefore a = 99$ m
Hence, the correct answer is 99 m.
