The area of the circle is increased by 800%, thus the area is increased 9 times.
The area of a circle it proportional to the square of the diameter (\(area=\pi{\frac{d^2}{4}}\)), therefore the diameter must increase 3 times (diameter increase 3 times = area increase 9 times), which is increase by 200%.
Answer: B.

Another approach. Firstly, given that area increased by 800%. It means that if we take initial area as 100% then final area is (100%+800%=)900%. Now, make two equations:\(pi(R^2)=100\)-----> R=10/\(\sqrt{pi}\). Likewise, \(pi(r^2)=900\)---->r=30/\(\sqrt{pi}\). Answer is \(\frac{(r-R}{R)}\)*100=200%.
