Q:

If the radius of a circle is decreased by 50%, find the percentage decrease in its area.

A) 55%	B) 65%
C) 75%	D) 85%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 75%

Explanation:

Let original radius = R.

New radius = $\frac{50}{100} R$ = $\frac{50}{100} R$

Original area = $\frac{R}{2}$ and new area = ${πR}^{2}$

$\frac{3 {πR}^{2}}{4} * \frac{1}{{πR}^{2}} * 100$

Decrease in area = $π {(\frac{R}{2})}^{2} = \frac{{πR}^{2}}{4}$ = 75%
