$5\frac{1}{5}$%

$5\frac{2}{5}$%

$5\frac{3}{5}$%

Correct Answer:

$5\frac{3}{5}$%

Explanation:

Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height

Ratio of dimensions of old to new cuboid,    

                       old     :     New

Length              10     :       11

Breadth             5      :       6

Height               5      :       4

----------------------------------------------

Volume          250      :     264

Percentage increase in volume = \(\frac{14}{250}\) × 100

= 5\(\frac{3}{5}\)%
