Question:

If the diameter of a circle is increases by 15%, then what will be the percentage increase in its area?

Options:

35.75%

30.3%

25%

32.25%

Correct Answer:

32.25%

Explanation:

15% = \(\frac{3}{20}\)

Diameter        20     :      23

Radius            20     :      23

Area              202    :      232

                    400     :     529      ⇒ 129 (diff.)

Percentage change in area = \(\frac{129}{400}\) × 100 = 32.25%
