  1. If each side of a cube is increased by 10% the volume of the cube will increase by
    1. 30%
    2. 10%
    3. 33.1%
    4. 25%
Correct Option: C

Single equivalent increase for 10% and 10%

=10 + 10 +
10 × 10
% = 21%
100

Again, single equivalent increase for 21% and 10%
=21 + 10 +
21 × 10
%
100

= 31 + 2.1 = 33.1%
Aliter : Using Rule 14,
Increase % in volume
=3 × 10 +
3 × 102
+
102
%
100(100)2

=30 + 3 +
1
% = 33.1%
100

Note : Volume of cube = (Edge)3
Hence, formulax + y +
xy
% should be used twice.
100
