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.
