SSC CHSL 2022 PYQ — Question 65

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 3 times

 

 Area of Square = 5² = 5 × 5

 Area of Square = 25 cm²

 When the side is doubled,

 Side of a square = 2 × 5 = 10 cm

 Now, Area of Square = 10² = 10 × 10

 Area of Square = 100 cm²

⇒Number of times the area of the square increases = (100−25)/25

= 75/25

=3 times.
