If the radius of a circle is increased by 20%. Then the area of the circle is increased by:1. 25%2. 44%3. 12%4. 36%

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%.
