Ques:- Radius of sphere is increased by 50%. By how much percentage is surface area is increased?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 11:59:36:

let original radius=100
original surface area lets say it x =4 * (22/7) * 100 *100
new radius=100 + 50% of 100=150
new surface area lets say it y = 4 * (22/7)* 150* 150
increase in surface area=((y-x)/x) * 100
i.e.
((4*(22/7)*150*150 – 4*(22/7)*100 *100) / (4*(22/7)*100*100))*100
=125
so the answer is 125%.
hope this helps you.
