  1. If the height and the radius of the base of a cone are each increased by 100%, then the volume of the cone becomes
    1. double that of the original
    2. three times that of the original
    3. six times that of the original
    4. eight times that of the original
Correct Option: D

For 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
