    The length, breadth and height of a cuboid are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3. The length, breadth and height of the cuboid are increased by 100%, 200% and 200%, respectively. Then, the increase in the volume of the cuboid will be:

    A)  5 times            

    B)    6 times

    C)  12 times           

    D)    17 times

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

         Let the length, breadth and height of the cuboid be x, 2x and 3x, respectively. \[\therefore \] volume = x x 2x x 3x = 6x3 New length, breadth and height = 2x, 6x and 9x, respectively. New volume \[=108{{x}^{3}}\] Thus, increase in volume \[=(108-6){{x}^{3}}\] \[=102\,{{x}^{3}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\frac{\text{Increase}\,\text{in}\,\text{volume}}{\text{Original}\,\text{volum}}\,=\frac{102{{x}^{3}}}{6{{x}^{3}}}\,=17\,\text{times}\]
