    If the length of a rectangle is increased by 50% and its breadth is decreased by 25%, what is the change percent in its area?

    A) 12.5% increase      

    B) 10% increase

    C) 25% increase              

    D) 20% increase

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the initial length and the breadth of the rectangle be x and y respectively. Initial area = xy Now, new length \[\frac{15}{\pi }\] And new breadth\[\frac{30}{{{\pi }^{2}}}\] \[2\pi \] New area\[{{120}^{o}}\] Clearly, new area is more than the initial area. \[9\frac{3}{7}\] Increment in percent in area \[P%\] \[{{P}^{2}}%\]
