Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 44% Given: Increased radius = 120% of Original radius Formula used: Area of circle = πr2 Calculation: Let the original radius be r and the increased radius is R. Increased radius = 120% of Original radius ⇒ R = 120/100 × r ⇒ R = 6/5 × r Original raea = πr2 Increased area = πR2 ⇒ Increased area = π × (6/5 × r)2 ⇒ Increased area = 36/25 × π × r2 Required percentage = (Increased area – original area)/Original area × 100 ⇒ Required percentage = (36/25 × π × r2 – πr2)/ πr2 × 100 ⇒ Required percentage = (11/25 × πr2)/ πr2 × 100 ⇒ Required percentage = 11 × 4 ⇒ Required percentage = 44% ∴ The area of the circle is increased by 44%. |
