    If a solid right circular cylinder made of iron is heated to increase its radius and height by 1 p.c. each, then the volume of the solid is increased by

    A)  1.01 p.c.                             

    B)  3.03 p.c.

    C)  2.01 p.c.                

    D)        1.2 p.c.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let radius of cylinder is r and height of cylinder is h \[\therefore \] Volume of cylinder \[=\pi \,{{r}^{2}}\,h\] New radius \[=r+1%\] of \[r=r+\frac{1}{100}r=\frac{101}{100}r\] New height \[=h+1%\] of \[h=\frac{101}{100}h\] \[\therefore \] Volume of new cylinder \[=\pi \,\left( \frac{101}{100}r \right)\,\,\left( \frac{101}{100}h \right)\]                 \[=\frac{\pi \,\,{{(101)}^{3}}{{r}^{2}}h}{{{(100)}^{3}}}\] \[\therefore \] Increase in volume \[={{\left( \frac{101}{100} \right)}^{3}}\,{{r}^{2}}h-\pi {{r}^{2}}h\]                 \[=\pi (.030301)\,{{r}^{2}}h\] Hence, percentage increase \[=3.03\text{ }pc\]
