  • Question
  • The radius of the base of a right circular cone is doubled. To keep the volume fixed, the height of the come will be?


  • Options
  • A. half of the previous height
  • B. one-third of the previous height
  • C. one-fourth of the previous height
  • D. 1/?2 times of the previous height

  • Correct Answer
  • one-fourth of the previous height 

    Explanation

    In first situation.
    Radius = r1, height = h1 and volume = v1

    In second situation,
    Radius =2r1, height = h2 and volume = v2
    In the volume is fixed, then
    v1 = v2
    ? (1/3)?r21h1 = (1/3)?(2r1)2h2
    ? h1 = 4h2
    ? h2 = h1/4
    Therefore, height of the the cone will be one-fourth of the previous height.
