If the area of a rectangle is increased by 32% and its breadth is increased by 10%, what is the percent increase in its perimeter? |
10% 12% 20% None of the above |
None of the above |
Formulae of net effect: x + y + \(\frac{xy }{100 }\) 10 + x + \(\frac{10x }{100 }\) = 32% 10 + 1.1x = 32% 1.1x = 22% x = 20% Therefore, If length = 10 and breadth = 10 then, perimeter i.e. 2(l+b) = 40 After increase - length = 12 and breadth = 11 then, perimeter i.e. 2(l+b) = 46 Increase in perimeter = 6 Percentage increase in perimeter = \(\frac{6}{40 }\) x 100 = 15% |
