    Question

    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 200%,300% and 300%, respectively. Then compared to the original volume, the increase in the volume of the cuboid will be:

    A.

    47 times

    B.

    26 times

    C.

    17 times

    D.

    15 times

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    The original dimensions (length, breadth, height) of the cuboid are in the ratio 1:2:3.
    The length is increased by 200%, the breadth by 300%, and the height by 300%
    Formula Used:
    Volume of a Cuboid:  The volume V of a cuboid is given by:
    V = Length×Breadth×Height\text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \times \text{Height}
    Solution: 
    As per the question;  
    Original volume = 10×\times 20×\times 30 = 6000 unit3unit^3 
    Now, 
    New volume = 30×\times80×\times120 = 288000 unit3unit^3 
    Increase in volume = 288000 - 6000 = 282000unit3unit^3 
    Times Increase in volume = 2820006000=47\frac{282000}{6000} = 47​ 
    Therefore, the new volume has a 47 times increment in original volume.
