Volume of cylinder V = πr 2 h

Here r  = radius, height = h .

If the radius of cylinder is doubling then the radius is 2r .

If the height of cylinder is tripling then the height = 3h

Now the volume of cylinder = π*(2r) 2*3h

V = π*4r 2*3h

V = 12πr 2h.

Volume is increasing 12 times of original volume of cylinder.
