let original radius=100
original surface area lets say it x =4 * (22/7) * 100 *100
new radius=100 + 50% of 100=150
new surface area lets say it y = 4 * (22/7)* 150* 150
increase in surface area=((y-x)/x) * 100
i.e.
((4*(22/7)*150*150 – 4*(22/7)*100 *100) / (4*(22/7)*100*100))*100
=125
so the answer is 125%.
hope this helps you.

speed = distance / time.
240/16=15m/sec=54km/hr

Burn Rope One first, it will burn in 30 mins.Mark 30 mins and at the end of 30 mins now burn second rope from both sides (15 mins it will take ),and simultaneously burn third and last rope until it is half left.30+15= 45 , Remaining time 7.5 mins.By this time last rope is burnt half ,and now burn it from both sides as well it will exhaust in 7.5 mins. 30+15+7.5=52.5 measured.

1>=y>x => y belongs to (-infinity,1]
x belongs to (-infinity,y)
if both x and y are negitive z can be greater than zero and
can be greater than y(1 and 4 are true)
if y equals 1 then x can be equal to z(2 is true)
therefore y=z is not true for any value of x and y

Percentage of people passed = (passed in eng) + (passed in math) – ( passed in both)
Which is 90% of students passed and 10% failed
10% of X = 40
X = 400

So as to prevent unauthorized persons from entering and reducing vandalism
