Q:

If each edge of a cube is increased by 50%, find the percentage increase in Its surface area

A) 125% B) 150%
C) 175% D) 110%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 125%

Explanation:

Let the edge = a cm   

So increase by 50 % = a + a/2 = 3a/2  

Total surface Area of original cube = 6a2  

TSA of new cube = 63a22 =69a24=  13.5a2   

Increase in area = 13.5a2-6a2 =7.5a2  

 7.5a2 Increase % =7.5a26a2×100 = 125%
