Question : If the radius of the base, and the height of a right circular cone are increased by 20%, what is the approximate percentage increase in volume?

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 68.8

Option 3: 72.8

Option 4: 75

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 72.8


Solution : Let the base radius and height of the cone be r and h respectively 
Then, volume = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h=V$
If base radius is increased 20 %, new radius = $r\times \frac{120}{100}=\frac{6}{5}r$
Similarly, New height = $\frac{6}{5}h$
New volume = $\frac{1}{3}(\frac{6}{5}r)^2\times \frac{6}{5}h=\frac{216}{125} V$
Hence, percentage increase
