The length and breadth of square are increased by 30% and 20% respectively. The area of the rectangle so formed exceeds the area of the square by?

20%
36%
50%
56%

Correct Answer: 56%

Explanation:

Let length of square = 100 m and breadth of square = 100 m
Area = (100 x 100) m² = 10000 m²
New length = 130 m and breadth = 120 m
New area of rectangle = (130 x 120) m² = 15600 m²
Increase % = (5600 / 10000) x 100 % = 56%
