    Using Rule 12,

    Required per cent increase = 2x +
    %
    100

    = 2 × 5 +
    5 × 5
    %
    100

    = 10.25 %

    Case I : When height = h1, radius = r1,

    Volume of the cone V1 =
    1
    πr1²h1
    3

    Case II,
    When height h2 = 2h1,
    radius r² = r1 [radius is same] Volume of the cone
    V2 =
    1
    πr2²h2
    3

    ∴ The required ratio = 1 : 2

    Correct Option: C

    Case I : When height = h1, radius = r1,

    Volume of the cone V1 =
    1
    πr1²h1
    3

    Case II,
    When height h2 = 2h1,
    radius r² = r1 [radius is same] Volume of the cone
    V2 =
    1
    πr2²h2
    3

    ∴ The required ratio = 1 : 2


  1. If the radius of the base of a cone be doubled and height is left unchanged, then ratio of the volume of new cone to that of the original cone will be :

    π × 8³ = Volume of cone
    3

    Volume of cone =

    1
    × π × 8 × 8 × h
    3

    =
    4
    × π × 8³
    3

    ⇒ h= 32 cm.
    ∴ Slant height = √h² + r² = √32² + 8² = √1024 + 64
    = √64(16 + 1) = 8√17 cm.
