    For original cone,

    V =
    1
    πr²h
    3

    For the second cone,
    r1 = 2r
    h1 = 2h
    ∴ V1 =

    Let the radius of a right circular cylinder is changed by x% and height is changed y%, then Volume change by

    2x + y +
    x² + 2xy
    +
    x²y
    %
    100100²

    ∴ Effective change = - 2 × 50 + 60 +
    2500 - 6000
    +
    150000
    %
    10010000

    = (–100 + 60 – 35 + 15)
    = (75 – 135) = – 60%
    Negative sign shows decrease.

    πr³
    3

    =
    4
    π × 9 × 9 × 9

    = 972π cubic.cm.
    If the length of wire be h cm., then
    π × (0.2)² × h = 972π
    ⇒ h =

  1. Each of the radius of the base and the height of a right circular cylinder is increased by 10%. The volume of the cylinder is increased by









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Intial area of the cylinder = πr²h
    Voiume of the new cylinder = p (1.1r)² × 1.1h
    = 1.331 πr²h
    ∴ Increase in area = (1.331 – 1) πr²h
    = 0.331 πr²h

    ∴ Percentage increase =
    0.331πr²h
    × 100 = 33.1 %
    πr²h

    Correct Option: C

    Intial area of the cylinder = πr²h
    Voiume of the new cylinder = p (1.1r)² × 1.1h
    = 1.331 πr²h
    ∴ Increase in area = (1.331 – 1) πr²h
    = 0.331 πr²h

    ∴ Percentage increase =
    0.331πr²h
    × 100 = 33.1 %

    Volume of the cone =
    1
    πr²h, new height = 100%h
    3

    ∴ Percentage increase in volume = 100%

    Correct Option: A

    Volume of the cone =
    1
    πr²h, new height = 100%h
    3

    ∴ Percentage increase in volume = 100%
