Answer : 1. "90%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 90% Explanation: Let length, breadth and height of the room be 7, 3, 1 unit respectively. Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(7+3)x1 = 20 sq. unit. Now, length, breadth and height of room will become 3.5, 6 and 2 respectively. Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(3.5+6)x2 = 38 sq. unit. % Increase in the area of walls = (38-20)x100/20 = 90%.
