If all the sides of a cuboid are increased by 20 then by what percentage does its volume increase

1) 75 % 2) 85.5 % 3) 72.8 % 4) 50 % 5) 100 % 6) 125.5 % 7) 150 % 8) 75.5 % 9) 90.25 %

10)200 %

Solution

Let the side of the cube is 1 meter Then volume of that cube = 1*1*1 = 1 cubic meter 20% of 1 meter = 0.2 meter Then side of cube = 1+.2 = 1.2 Hence new volume of the cube = 1.2*1.2*1.2 = 1.728 = 172.8 %

Increment in the volume = (172.8 � 100) % = 72.8 %

Correct Option: 3 Best Solution (58)

old volume of cube=a3 and new side of cube=a+0.2a=1.2a new volume of cube=(1.2a)3=1.728a3 volume increase=(1.728-1)a3=0.728a3

so %increase vol=72.8

Volume of the cube = (side)^3 Let the side be x So volume will be x3 Now the side becomes 1.2x so the volume will be (1.2x)^3 = 1.728x^3. Therefore increase in volume is (1.728x^3/x^3) 1.728x^3 - x^3 = 0.728x^3 Therefore percentage increase in volume is (.728x^3/x^3)*100 - 72.8% Hence option no. (3)

Suppose the sides of a cube are each increased by 20%. What is the percentage increase in the surfaace area of the solid? Area is a function of the square of the sides. 1.2*s = 1.2^2*area = 1.44*area = 44% increase What is the percentage increase in the volume of the solid? Volume is a function of the cube of the sides. 1.2*s = 1.2^3*V = 1.728V
