Answer» Volume of a cylinder = πr2h Given, its RADIUS is decreased by 10% and height increased by 20%. R = r – 10% of r = 0.9r H = h + 20% of h = 1.2h Volume of the new cylinder = πR2H ⇒ Volume of the new cylinder = π(0.9r)2 × 1.2 h ⇒ Volume of the new cylinder = 0.972 πr2h Decrease in volume = πr2h – 0.972 πr2h = 0.028 πr2h % decreased in volume $(= \frac{{0.028{\rm{\pi }}{{\rm{r}}^2}{\rm{h}}}}{{{\rm{\pi }}{{\rm{r}}^2}{\rm{h}}}} \times 100\%= 2.8\%)$ |
