Here the A part is the area of steel used actually to make the cylindrical tank.
It is given 1/12th of the steel used was wasted. i.e. 1/12 A sq m of steel was wasted
So, steel used for construction reduces to A - 1/12 A = 11/12 A sq.m.
This value of steel is equal to the surface area of the tank = 87.12 sq.
Hence we arrive at the value of A, equating
11/12 A = 87.12
