Correct Answer: 21%
Solution : Given: The radius of a circle is increased by 10%. Let the radius be r units, then area = $\pi r^2$ sq. units After a 10% increase, new radius = $(r+r×\frac{10}{100})=\frac{11r}{10}$ units Now, the area = $\pi (\frac{11r}{10})^2=\frac{121\pi r^2}{100}$ sq. units Therefore, the percentage increase in area is, = $\frac{(\frac{121\pi r^2}{100}-\pi r^2)}{\pi r^2}×100$ = $(\frac{21\pi r^2}{100})×100$ = 21% Hence, the correct answer is 21%.
