Correct Answer: 26.5%
Solution : Given, Length and breadth have been increased by 15% and 10% respectively. We know, Percentage increase in the area = $x + y + \frac{xy}{100}$ Where, $x$ = Percentage increase in Length $y$ = Percentage increase in Breadth ⇒ Percentage increase in area $= [15 + 10 + \frac{15 × 10}{100}]\%=[25 + 1.5]\%= 26.5\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 26.5%.
