The correct answer is: 0.4%

  Stress, FA=1% of Y=Y100 But Youngs modulus, Y=stressstrain=FAll

   Y=Y100ll      puttingFA=Y100

  ll=1100

Poissons ratio, σ=-rrll

  rr=-σll=-0.3100

rr=-0.3100

   Change in volume, VV=2rr+ll

=2×-0.3100+1100

=1-0.6100=0.4100

So the percentage change in volume = 0.4%
