Question

How much percent of the curved surface area of a sphere will be increased if the radius is doubled?

WBBSE Class X Mathematics Sphere 02 Mark 2024

Answer

Curved surface area (C.S.A) of a sphere = 4πr²

If radius is doubled

⇒ new radius = 2r.

New C.S.A = 4π(2r)² = 4π × 4r² = 16πr².

Increase in C.S.A = (New C.S.A − Old C.S.A)

= 16πr² − 4πr² = 12πr²

% increase = (Increase C.S.A / Old C.S.A) × 100

= (12πr² / 4πr²) × 100

= 300%.
