    If the height of a cone is increased by 50%, then what is the percentage increase in the volume of the cone?

    A) \[\frac{100}{3}\]                                   

    B) 40       

    C) 50                    

    D) \[\frac{200}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let h and r be the height and radius of the cone \[\therefore \]      Volume of cone \[=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\] and new height \[=\frac{h\times 150}{100}=\frac{3h}{2}\] \[\therefore \] Volume of cone \[=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}\cdot \frac{3h}{2}\]                             \[=\frac{1}{2}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\] Change in volume of cone \[=\frac{1}{2}\pi {{r}^{2}}h-\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\]                                       \[=\frac{1}{6}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\] \[\therefore \] Percentage increase \[=\frac{\frac{1}{6}\pi {{r}^{2}}h}{\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h}\times 100%=50%\]
