Correct Answer: ans: 12.36%
Explanation:
Length and with of the rectangular field is 24 metre and 12 metre respectively
Area of the rectangular 24 x 12 sq. metre = 288 sq. metre
Both length and width increased by 6%
Increased length = 24 + 6% of 24
= 25.44 metre
Increased width = 12 + 6% of 12= 12 + 0.72 = 12.72 metre
Total area after increased = (25.44 x 12.72) sq. metre= 323.5968 sq. metre
