Question:

The radius and height of a solid cylinder is increased by 25% each. What is the percentage change in its volume?

Options:

81.25 % 

85%

95.31 %

97.62%

Correct Answer:

95.31 %

Explanation:

Vol. of cylinder = \(\pi \)r2h

25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\)

                     Actual   :     New

Radius:            4        :       5

Height:            4        :       5

Vol.     :        \(\pi \)R2H    :     \(\pi \)r2h

          :           42 . 4    :    52 . 5 = 64  :  125

⇒ Vol. increased by = 125 - 64 = 61

⇒ Increased percentage\(\frac{61}{64}\) × 100 = 95.31%
