Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Let the original radius $ =r $ and original height $ =h $ Original volume $ =\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h $ New radius $ =2,r $ and height $ =h $ New volume $ =\frac{1}{3}\times \pi \times {{(2r)}^{2}}\times h=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{2}h $ $ =4\times \frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h=4\times Originalvolume. $
