If the side of a square is increased by 20%, its area is increased by k%. Find the value of 'k'.

A.

24

B.

36

C.

20

D.

44

Correct option is D


Let the side of square is 10 cm
Then the area of square = 100 cm2
When the side increased by 20% then the side of the square = 12
Therefore, the area of square = 144 cm^2
Increased k% = (144-100)/100 ×100 =44%
