Question 88

If the radius of a circle is increased by 14% its area increases by

Solution

Let radius = 10 cm

=> Area of circle = $$\pi (10)^2 = 100 \pi$$ sq. cm

If radius is increased by 14%, => New radius = $$10 + \frac{14}{100} \times 10 = 11.4$$ cm

New area = $$\pi (11.4)^2 = 129.96 \pi$$ sq. cm

=> % increase in area = $$\frac{129.96 - 100}{100} \times 100$$

= 29.96%

=> Ans - (B)
