    If the radius of the base and the height of a right circular cone are increased by 20%, then what is the approximate percentage increase in volume?

    A) 60                                

    B) 68 

    C) 73                                

    D) 75

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Since, volume of cone \[{{V}_{1}}=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\] After increasing by 20% of radius and height, then volume of cone \[{{V}_{2}}=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{\left( 1+\frac{1}{5} \right)}^{2}}r\left( 1+\frac{1}{5} \right)h\]                           \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times \frac{216}{125}{{r}^{2}}h\] \[\therefore \] Required percentage \[=\frac{{{V}_{2}}-{{V}_{1}}}{{{V}_{1}}}\times 100\]             \[=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\left( \frac{216}{125}-1 \right)}{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h}\times 100\]             \[=\frac{91}{125}\times 100=72.8%\]             \[=73%\] (approx..)
