Correct Answer: 10.25%
Solution : The area of a circle with $r$ as the radius $=\pi r^2$ The radius is increased by $5\%$, the new radius becomes $1.05r$. The new area of the circle $=\pi (1.05r)^2 = 1.1025 \pi r^2$ The increase in the area $=1.1025 \pi r^2 - \pi r^2 = 0.1025 \pi r^2$ The percentage increase in the area $=\frac{0.1025 \pi r^2}{\pi r^2} \times 100 = 10.25\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 10.25%.
