Approximate percentage increase in the volume of sphere if its radius is increased by 3% is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) - 9%
r → radius, v → volume
$v=\frac{4}{3}πr^3$ so $\frac{dv}{dr}=4πr^2$
so $Δv=\frac{dv}{dr}×Δr$
$=4πr^2×\frac{3}{100}×r$
$=\frac{9}{100}×\frac{4}{3}πr^3=\frac{9}{100}×v$
or 9%
