Question 10
If the radius of a circle is increased by 6%, then the area is increased by:
A
14.96
B
11.24
C
13.64
D
12.36

Discuss it


Question 10 Explanation: 
New Area of the Circle = Pi * (R + 6% of R)^2 = Pi * (R + 0.06R)^2 = Pi * (1.06R)^2 = Pi * R^2 * (1.06)^2. Therefore, percentage increase in Area = [ Pi * R^2 * (1.06)^2 - Pi * R^2 ]/ (Pi * R^2) = 1.06^2 - 1 = 0.1236 = 12.36%
