The length, breadth and height of a room in the shape of a cuboid are increased by 10%, 20% and 50% respectively. Find the percentage change in the volume of the cuboid.

a) 77%
b) 98%
c) 75%
d) 88%

Answer: b
Explanation: Let each side of the cuboid be 10 unit initially.
Initial Volume of the cuboid,
= length * breadth * height = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000 cubic unit.
After increment dimensions become,
Length = (10 + 10% of 10) = 11 unit.
Breadth = (10 + 20% of 10) = 12 unit.
Height = (10 + 50% of 10) = 15 unit.
Now, present volume = 11 × 12 × 15 = 1980 cubic unit.
Increase in volume = 1980 – 1000 = 980 cubic unit.
% increase in volume = $$\frac{{980}}{{1000}} \times 100 = 98\% $$
