Correct Answer: 96%
Solution : Given: each side of the cube is increased by 40% Let the edge of a cube be 100 cm. New edge after increment of 40% = 140 cm The surface area of a cube before increment = 6 × 100 × 100 = 60000 cm 2 Surface area of a cube after increment = 6 × 140 × 140 = 117600 cm 2 Percentage increase in surface area = $\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Surface area before increment}}×100$ = $\frac{117600-60000}{60000}×100$ = $\frac{57600}{60000}×100$ = 96% Hence, the correct answer is 96%.
