Question:

The radius and height of a solid cylinder is increased by 20% and 16\(\frac{2}{3}\)% respectively . What is the percentage change in its volume?

Options:

No Change

46%

36%

68 %

Correct Answer:

68 %

Explanation:

                  Old      :      New

radius:         5       :        6

height :        6       :        7     

Volume:       52×6    :      62×7

                  25      :         42         (*Inc. by 17)

Increase % = \(\frac{17}{25}\)×100 = 68%

OR

Volume of cylinder = \(\pi \)r2h .... (i)

New volume =  \(\pi \) (\(\frac{6}{5}\)r)2 × (\(\frac{7}{6}\)h) = \(\frac{42}{25}\) \(\pi \)r2h

= 68% increase
