In this note it is shown that the volume of a \(k\)-dimensional central section of a convex body in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) with ellipsoid of maximal volume \(B^n_2\) is not larger than \(\frac {(\sqrt{k+1}\sqrt{n})^{k+1}}{k!\sqrt{k}}\). This upper bound can be improved in the centrally symmetric case to \(\left(\frac {4n}{k}\right)^\frac{k}{2}\). Some extremal properties of cube and simplex are derived as applications of the main results.
