Answer

Before change :

Radius of cylinder = r

Height of cylinder = h

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

After change :

Radius of cylinder = 2r

Height of cylinder = h

Volume of cylinder = π(2r)2h = 4πr2h

Difference in volume = Volume after change - Volume before change
= 4πr2h - πr2h
= 3πr2h.

Percentage increase in volume

=Difference in vol.Vol. of cylinder before change×100=3πr2hπr2h×100=3×100=300%= \dfrac{\text{Difference in vol.}}{\text{Vol. of cylinder before change}} \times 100 \\[1em] = \dfrac{3πr^2h}{πr^2h} \times 100 \\[1em] = 3 \times 100 \\[1em] = 300\%

Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.
