Answer:
Please check your question. It should be a closed right circular cylinder.
Let r be the radius of the base and h be the height of the cylinder.
Let S be the total surface area.
Thus, 
Let Volume of the cylinder be V
Thus, we have,
Now differentiating the above function with respect to r, we have
For maximum, or minimum, we have
But
Differentiating 
with respect to r, we obtain,
with respect to r, we obtain,
Hence, V is maximum when h = 2r, i.e. when the height of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the base.
