    D 1.24% increase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let length and breadth of the rectangle be x and y respectively. As we know, Area of the rectangle = xy New length of the rectangle = x Γ— 104/100 = 1.04x New breadth of the rectangle = y Γ— 94/100 = 0.94 New area of the rectangle = 1.04x Γ— 0.94y = 0.9776xy Area decreased by (in %) = [(xy-0.9776xy) /xy] x 100 Β  = 2.24%
