Write True or False and justify your answer in the following: If the radius of a cylinder is doubled and height is halved, the volume will be doubled.
Answer
View full question & answer→True.Solution:
Let r be the radius and h the height of the cylinder.
$\therefore$ Original volume $(\text{V}_1)=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}.$
When radius of cylinder is doubled and height is halved
$\text{(V)}_2=\pi(2\text{r})^2\times\frac{\text{h}}{2}=\pi\times4\text{r}^2\times\frac{\text{h}}{2}=2\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=2\text{V}_1$
Hence, the given statement is true.
