Answer

Given,

Radius (R) = r2\dfrac{r}{2},

Slant height (L) = 2l

Total surface area of cone (S) = πR(L + R)

Putting values we get,

S=π×r2×(2l+r2)=πr2×2l+πr2×r2=πrl+πr24=πr(l+r4).S = π \times \dfrac{r}{2} \times \Big(2l + \dfrac{r}{2}\Big) \\[1em] = \dfrac{πr}{2} \times 2l + \dfrac{πr}{2} \times \dfrac{r}{2} \\[1em] = πrl + \dfrac{πr^2}{4} \\[1em] = πr\Big(l + \dfrac{r}{4}\Big).

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
