Correct Answer: 21
Solution : Given: Each side of a square is increased by 10%. Let the sides of the square be 100 units. So, the area of the square = (100 × 100) = 10000 units After a 10% increase, the sides = (100 + 10) = 110 units Now the area of the square = (110 × 110) = 12100 units $\therefore$ The percentage increase of area = $\frac{12100-10000}{10000}×100= \frac{2100}{10000}×100= 21\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 21.
