Correct option is A
Given:
Percentage increase in each edge of the cube = 10%
Formula Used:
Surface area of a cube is proportional to the square of its edge length.
Successive percentage change formula = A + B +
Solution:
Since the surface area involves the product of two equal dimensions (edge × edge), we apply the successive percentage increase formula where A = 10 and B = 10.
Percentage Increase = 10 + 10 +
Percentage Increase = 20 +
Percentage Increase = 20 + 1 = 21%
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (a)
