    If both the radius and the height of a right circular cone are increased by 20%, its volume will be increased by

    A)  20%                            

    B)  40%

    C)  60%                            

    D)  72.8%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the height and radius of a cone are r and h respectively. \[\therefore \]      \[{{V}_{1}}=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\]                         New radius \[=\frac{120}{100}r=\frac{6r}{5}\] And      New height \[=\frac{120}{100}h=\frac{6h}{5}\]             \[\therefore \] New Volume, \[{{V}_{2}}=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{\left( \frac{6r}{5} \right)}^{2}}\left( \frac{6h}{5} \right)\]                                          \[=\frac{216}{125}\left( \frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h \right)\]             Increase in volume \[=\left( \frac{216}{125}-1 \right)\left( \frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h \right)\]                                         \[=\frac{91}{125}\left( \frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h \right)\]             % increase \[=\frac{91}{125}\times \frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h}{\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h}\times 100%\]                         \[=\frac{91\times 100}{125}%\]                         \[=72.8%\]
