    If the height of right circular cone is increased by 200% and the radius of the base is reduced by 50% then the volume of the cone

    A)  Increased by 25%         

    B)  increased by 50%

    C)  Remains unaltered         

    D)  decreased by 25%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the height of right circular cone be h cm and radius of base is r cm. \[\therefore \]      Volume of cone, \[{{V}_{1}}=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\] New      height \[=\frac{300\times h}{100}=3h\,cm\] And new radius \[=\frac{50\times r}{100}=\frac{r}{2}\] \[\therefore \] New volume \[=\frac{1}{3}\pi \frac{{{r}^{2}}}{4}\times 3h=\frac{3}{4}({{V}_{1}})\] Thus, the volume of cone is decreased by 25%.
