    ক)
    10%
    খ)
    20%
    গ)
    36%
    ঘ)
    400%

    Explanation

    If R is the original radius then the area of the circle is =πr 2 If we decrease the radius by 20% the new radius is =0.8r  so the new area is=π(0.8r) 2 = 0.64πr 2 Compute the percent of the new to the old: = 0.64πr 2 / πr 2 =0.64 The decrease then is 100 - 64 = 36%
