Question : If the radius of a sphere increases by 10%, what would be the change in the surface area of the sphere?

Option 1: 20%

Option 2: 21%

Option 3: 31%

Option 4: 25%

Question : Direction: The given pie chart shows the runs scored by 5 players in a match.

What is the central angle made by the sector of runs scored by Yuvraj?

Option 1: 77.68$^\circ$

Option 2: 66.56$^\circ$
