Question:The length and breadth of a square are in increased by `40%` and `30%` respectively. The area of the resulting rectangle exceeds the area of the square by :
A `42%`
B `62%`
C `82%`
D None
/114
+ Answer
C
+ ExplanationLet `∕ = 10m & b = 10m.`
Then, area`= 100 m^2`.
length`= 140% of 10 = 14 m.`
breadth`= 130% of 10 = 13 m.`
New area`= (14 xx 13) m^2`
`= 182 m^2`
Increases in area`= 82%`.
