$\frac{\text { Lateral strain }}{\text { Longitudinal strain }}=\eta$

$\frac{\Delta r / r}{\Delta l / I}=0.5$

Substitute $\Delta r / r=2 / 100$

$\frac{\Delta l}{l}=\frac{4}{100}$

$\therefore\% \text { increase }=\frac{\Delta l}{l} \times 100=4 \%$

$\because A \propto r^2$

So $\frac{\Delta A}{A}=\frac{2 \Delta r}{r}$

$\frac{4}{100}=2 \times \frac{\Delta r}{r}$

$\frac{2}{100}=\frac{\Delta r}{r}$
