Solution

The correct option is A
9.37%
Let the increase in the breadth be x%

% increase in area = (100 + increase in length)×(100+% increase in breadth)10010075=(100+60)× (100+x)100100175=160× (100+x)10017500160=100+x
Thus, x=9.375%

माना कि चौड़ाई में वृद्धि x% है
क्षेत्रफल में % वृद्धि =(100 + लंबाई में % वृद्धि)× 100 + चौड़ाई में % वृद्धि) /100 - 100
75=(100+60)× (100+x)100100175=160× (100+x)10017500160=100+x
इस प्रकार, x=9.375%
