Correct Answer: 41.72 percent
Solution : Let the initial radius be r and height be 100 and the final height be h ⇒ Final radius = r$({1 - \frac{16}{100})}$ = 0.84r Initial volume = Final volume ⇒ $\pi r^{2}$ × 100 = $\pi (0.84r)^{2}$h ⇒ h = $\frac{100}{0.7056}$ = 141.72 Increase in height = 141.72 – 100 = 41.72 ⇒ Percentage increase in height = 41.72% Hence, the correct answer is 41.72%.
