Question:
In a cylinder, if the radius is halved and the height is doubled, then the volume will be
(a) the same
(b) doubled
(c) halved
(d) four times
Solution:
(c) halved
Suppose that the new radius is $\frac{1}{2} r$ and the height is $2 h$.
$\therefore$ Volume $=\pi \times\left(\frac{1}{2} r\right)^{2} \times 2 h$
$=\pi \times \frac{r^{2}}{4} \times 2 h$
$=\frac{1}{2} \pi r^{2} h$
