  • Question
  • If the circumference of a circle is increased by 50%, then its area will be increased by?


  • Options
  • A. 50%
  • B. 100%
  • C. 125%
  • D. 225%

  • Correct Answer
  • 125% 

    Explanation

    Original circumference = 2?r
    New circumference = (150 /100) x 2 ?r
    = 3?r

    2?R = 3?r
    ? R = 3r/2
    Original area = ?r2
    New area = ?R2
    = ?9r2 / 4 = 9?r2/4

    Increase in area = (9?r2/4 ) - (?r2)
    = (5/4) ?r2

    Req. increase per cent = [{(5/4) ?r2} / {?r2}] x 100
    = 125 %
