 For the second cone,
 r1 = 2r
 h1 = 2h∴ V1 = 1 πr1²h1 3 = 1 π(2r)² × 2h 3 = 8 × 1 πr²h = 8 V 3 Correct Option: DFor original cone, V = 1 πr²h 3 
 For the second cone,
 r1 = 2r
 h1 = 2h∴ V1 = 1 πr1²h1 3 = 1 π(2r)² × 2h 3 = 8 × 1 πr²h = 8 V 3

 = (–100 + 60 – 35 + 15)
 = (75 – 135) = – 60%
 Negative sign shows decrease.Correct Option: BLet the radius of a right circular cylinder is changed by x% and height is changed y%, then Volume change by  2x + y + x² + 2xy + x²y  % 100 100² ∴ Effective change =  - 2 × 50 + 60 + 2500 - 6000 + 150000  % 100 10000

 = 972π cubic.cm.
 If the length of wire be h cm., then
 π × (0.2)² × h = 972π⇒ h = 972 = 24300 cm. 0.2 × 0.2

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Intial area of the cylinder = πr²h 
 Voiume of the new cylinder = p (1.1r)² × 1.1h
 = 1.331 πr²h
 ∴ Increase in area = (1.331 – 1) πr²h
 = 0.331 πr²h∴ Percentage increase = 0.331πr²h × 100 = 33.1 % πr²h Correct Option: CIntial area of the cylinder = πr²h 
 Voiume of the new cylinder = p (1.1r)² × 1.1h
 = 1.331 πr²h
 ∴ Increase in area = (1.331 – 1) πr²h
 = 0.331 πr²h∴ Percentage increase = 0.331πr²h × 100 = 33.1 % πr²h 
-  If the height of a cone is increased by 100% then its volume is increased by :

 ∴ Percentage increase in volume = 100%Correct Option: AVolume of the cone = 1 πr²h, new height = 100%h 3 
 ∴ Percentage increase in volume = 100%
