In summary, The conversation is about finding the total surface area of a cylinder and discussing the correct method to do so. There is a suggestion to include the area of the top surface, but it is pointed out that this is not necessary as the top is open and not a flat circle. The conversation concludes with the mistake being identified and corrected.

i don't understand how you got equation circle-2 :confused:

you need to take the equations for A and V and to prove that A = 2V/r + 5πr2/3

Like tiny-tim pointed out you are including an extra circle. Think of your cylinder as having the top opened. Instead of that circle, you have your hemisphere on the top and not a flat circle.
