  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 :
    1. 1 : 4
    2. 2 : 1
    3. 1 : 2
    4. 4 : 1
Correct Option: D

Volume of original cone, Vl =
1
πr²h
3

Now, radius of new cone, r1= 2r
height, h1 = h
∴ Volume V2 =
1
πr1²h1
3

=
1
π(2r)² × h =
4
πr²h
33

=
4
πr²h
V2
3
V1
1
πr²h
3

= 4 : 1
