Best answer 8 votes 8 votes Volume of a cone, $V = \frac{\pi}{3} r^2h$ $r \to 1.1r, h \to 1.1h \implies V \to 1.1^2 \times 1.1 V = 1.331 V$ So, percentage increase in volume $ = 33.1\%$ Correct Option: C Arjun answered Jun 1, 2019 • selected Feb 7, 2020 by Lakshman Bhaiya Arjun comment Share Follow See 1 comment See all 1 1 comment reply Lakshman Bhaiya commented Feb 7, 2020 reply Follow Share $V = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r ^{2}h$ $\implies V \propto r^{2}h$ $\implies V = (1.1)^{2}\times 1.1 = (1.1)^{3} = 1.331 = (1.331-1)\times 100\% = 0.331\times 100\% = 33.1\%\Big \Uparrow$ 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
