Write whether True or False and justify your answer
If the radius of a cylinder is doubled and height is halved, the volume will be doubled.
Let radius of cylinder = r
Let height of cylinder = h
Then, volume of cylinder is given by
V = πr2h …(i)
According to the question, now
Radius of the cylinder = 2r
Height of the cylinder = h/2
Then, volume of cylinder is given by
V’ = π(2r)2(h/2) = 4πr2(h/2) = 2πr2h = 2 (πr2h) = 2V
⇒ V’ = 2V
Thus, volume will be doubled if the radius of a cylinder is doubled and height is halved.
Hence, it is true.
