The correct answer is
31250$\pi$

Hemisphere Curved Surface Area Calculation

The question asks for the curved surface area of a hemisphere with a given radius.

Formula and Given Values

The formula for the curved surface area (CSA) of a hemisphere is:

\( \text{CSA} = 2 \pi r^2 \)

Given the radius (\(r\)):

\( r = 125 \text{ cm} \)

Step-by-Step Calculation

Substitute the value of the radius into the formula:

\( \text{CSA} = 2 \pi (125)^2 \)

First, calculate the square of the radius:

\( 125^2 = 15625 \)

Now, multiply this by \(2\pi\):

\( \text{CSA} = 2 \pi \times 15625 \)

\( \text{CSA} = 31250 \pi \)

Final Answer

The curved surface area of the hemisphere is \(31250 \pi \text{ cm}^2\). This matches Option A.
