If the height of the transmitting tower is increased by \(30 \%\), then the area covered by it increases by

  1. A 10\%
  2. B \(21 \%\)
  3. C \(30 \%\)
  4. D \(60 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(30 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Area covered by a transmission tower of height \(h\) is \(\begin{aligned} & A=2 \pi R h \\ \Rightarrow \quad & A \propto h \end{aligned}\) So, if height is increased by \(30 \%\), area of coverage also increase by \(30 \%\).
