    The radius of a piece of wire is decreased to one-half. If volume remains the same, then its length will increase

    A)  2 times             

    B)         3 times

    C)  4 times               

    D)         5 times

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let r and A be the radius and length of a wire. \[\therefore \]  Volume of wire \[=\pi \,{{r}^{2}}h\] New radius of wire \[=\frac{r}{2}\] If h be the new length of the wire, then by hypothesis,                 \[\pi {{r}^{2}}h=\pi {{\left( \frac{r}{2} \right)}^{2}}h'=\frac{\pi {{r}^{2}}h}{4}\] \[\therefore \]  \[h'=4h\]                 \[=4\] times h
