137984cm^3

Explanation:

Let the radius of the right circular cylinder be r cm
and height be h cm

The area of its Curved Surface =2pirh cm^2

The area of its Plane Crcular Surface =2pir^2 cm^2

So The area of its Total Surface =(2pir^2+2pirh) cm^2

By the 1st condition of the problem:
The ratio of total surface area to the curved surface area of a right circular cylinder is 3 : 2
Hence
(2pir^2+2pirh)/(2pirh)=3/2=>((cancel(2pir)(r+h))/(cancel(2pir)h))=3/2
=>(r+h)/h=3/2
=>3h=2r+2h
=>h=2r

Now by the 2nd condition of the problem:

Total surface area = 14784 cm^2
So (2pir^2+2pirh)= 14784
=>(2pir^2+2pir*2r)= 14784 [ putting h=2r ]
=>(2pir^2+4pir^2)= 14784
=>(6pir^2)= 14784
=>(6*22/7r^2)= 14784

=>r^2= cancel(14784)^112*7/cancel22*1/cancel6=16*7*7
r=sqrt(4^2*7^2)=28cm

Hence Radius of the Cylinder = r=28 cm

So its height h=2r=2xx28cm=56cm

and Volume of the Cylinder =pir^2h=22/7*28^2 *56 cm^3
=22/cancel7*cancel28^4*28 *56 cm^3=137984 cm^3
