    If each of the dimensions of a rectangle is increased by 100% its area is increased by

    A) 100%                          

    B) 200%

    C) 300%         

    D) 400%

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

        Let the initial length and width be \[l\] & b respectively. Then the initial area\[=l\times b\] According to the question, New length and width will be \[2l\] and \[2b\] respectively. \[\therefore \] New area\[=2l\times 2b=4lb\] Increment in area \[=\frac{4lb-lb}{lb}\times 100%=300%.\]
