BT QUESTION ( PREVIOUS YEARS )

A) 0.44% B) 0.34 % C) 0.24 % C) 0.14 %

ANS>>>> given is 0.24 % ( C )

let D be diiameter and L be the length

\frac{dD}{D}/\frac{dL}{L}=0.2
\frac{dL}{L}=4*10^{-3}
\Rightarrow \frac{dD}{D}=8*10^{-4}

now,\frac{dR}{R}=\frac{dD}{D}=8*10^{-4}
dV=\pi (r-dr)^{2}(l+dl)-\pi r^2l\

ignoring higher powers of dr,
dV=\pi (r^2l+r^2dl+2lrdr+dldr-r^2l)=\pi (r^2dl+ldr) {ignoring drdl as it is very small}
so,\frac{dV}{V}=\frac{\pi (r^2dl+2lrdr)}{\pi r^2l}=\frac{dl}{l}+2\frac{dr}{r}

% change=\frac{dV}{V}*100 { }^0/_{0}
