The length of a rectangle is increased by 20% and its breadth is increased by 10%. Which of the following is possible value of the percentage increase in its area?

32%

Let, length be 10 and breadth be 10, area = 100 ( L x B )

After increase - length = 12 and breadth = 11, area = 132 ( L x B )

Increase in area = 132 - 100 = 32

Percentage increase in area = \(\frac{ 32}{100 }\) x 100 = 32%
