(N/A) Given: Radius $(r) = 3.5 \, cm$,Height $(h) = 12 \, cm$.
First,find the slant height $(l)$ using the formula $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}$.
$l = \sqrt{(3.5)^2 + (12)^2} = \sqrt{12.25 + 144} = \sqrt{156.25} = 12.5 \, cm$.
Curved Surface Area $(CSA) = \pi rl = \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times 12.5 = 22 \times 0.5 \times 12.5 = 137.5 \, cm^2$.
Total Surface Area $(TSA) = \pi r(r + l) = \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times (3.5 + 12.5) = 22 \times 0.5 \times 16 = 11 \times 16 = 176 \, cm^2$.
