  • Question
  • If the side of a square is increased by 25%, then how much percent does its area get increased?


  • Options
  • A. 125
  • B. 156.25
  • C. 50
  • D. 56.25

  • Correct Answer
  • 56.25 

    Explanation

    Let area 100 m2
    Then, side = 10 m

    New side = 125 % of 10
    = (125/100) x 10
    = 12.5 m

    New area = 12.5 x 12.5 m2
    =(12.5)2 sq. m

    ? Increase in area = (12.5)2 - (10)2 m2
    = 22.5 x 2.5 m2
    =56.25 m2

    % Increase = 56.25 %
