Question : If the radius of a circle is increased by 16%, its area increases by
Option 1: 34.56%
Option 2: 32%
Option 3: 16%
Option 4: 17.28%
Correct Answer: 34.56%
Solution : Let the radius of the original circle = $r$ So, the Area of the original circle = $\pi r^2$ Radius of circle after 16% increase = $r+\frac{16r}{100} =1.16r$ Area of new circle = $\pi \times 1.16^2 = 1.3456r^2$ Percentage increase in area $\frac{1.3456\pi r^2- \pi r^2}{\pi r ^2}\times 100$ = 34.56% Hence, the correct answer is 34.56%.
