  1. Each of the radius of the base and the height of a right circular cylinder is increased by 10%. The volume of the cylinder is increased by
    1. 3.31%
    2. 14.5%
    3. 33.1%
    4. 19.5%
Correct Option: C

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
