SSC CGL 2025 PYQ — Question 62

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Quadrupled.

The area of a regular hexagon with side 'a' $(A) = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} a^2$

If the side is doubled, the new side = 2a

New area $= \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} (2a)^2 = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 4a^2 = 4\times \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} a^2=4A$

So the new area is 4 times the original area.
