  • Question
  • The radius of the base of a right circular cone is increased by 15% keeping the height fixed. The volume of the cone will be increased by.?


  • Options
  • A. 30%
  • B. 31%
  • C. 32.25%
  • D. 34.75%

  • Correct Answer
  • 32.25% 

    Explanation

    Let the fixed height of a right circular cone is h and initial radius is r
    Then, initial volume of cone, V1 = (1/3)?r2h
    After increasing 15% radius of a cone = (r + 3r/20) = 23r/20
    New volume become, V2 = (1/3)?(23/20)2r2h
    ? Increasing percentage = [(V2 - V1) / V1] x 100
    = {[(1/3)?r2h] / [(1/3)?r2h]} {(23/20)2 - 1} x 100
    = (23/20 + 1)(23/20 - 1) x 100
    = 43/20 x 3/20 x 100 = 32.25%
