Question:

If the radius of a sphere is increased by 20%, its volume is increased by how much percent?

Options:

72.8%

60%

80%

No Change

Correct Answer:

72.8%

Explanation:

20% = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

Ratio of radius ⇒  R : r = 5 : 6

Ratio of volumes = \(\frac{4}{3}\) \(\pi \)R3 : \(\frac{4}{3}\) \(\pi \)r3

                           =  R3 : r3

                           = 53 : 63

                           = 125 : 216

Volume increased by = 216 - 125 = 91

Increased percentage = \(\frac{91}{125}\) × 100 = 72.8%
