Write whether True or False and justify your answer
If the radius of a right circular cone is halved and height is doubled, then volume will remain unchanged.
Let original radius of right circular cone = R
And original height of right circular cone = H
Volume in this case is given by,
Volume = 1/3 πR2H …(i)
The radius is then halved, radius (say, r) = R/2
And height is doubled, height (say, h) = 2H
Now, volume is given by
Volume’ = 1/3 πr2h
⇒ …(ii)
By comparing equations (i) and (ii), we can clearly see that Volume ≠ Volume’
Thus, Volume will not remain unchanged.
Hence, it is false.
