The radius of the base of a right circular cylinder is intersected by 20%. By what % should height be reduced so that its volume remains the same as before?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. .

R = r + r/5 = 6r/5

πr²h =π R² H

πr²h = π (6r/5)² H

r²h= (36r²/25) H

H/h = 25/36

% height reduced  = (11/36) 100 = %
