Answer:

last option

Explanation:

Let's call the original angle x° and the radius of the circle y. The area of the original sector would be x / 360 * πy². The new angle, which is a 40% increase from x, can be represented as 1.4x so the area of the new sector is 1.4x / 360 * πy². Now, to find the corresponding change, we can calculate 1.4x / 360 * πy² ÷ x / 360 * πy² = (1.4x / 360 * πy²) * (360 * πy² / x). 360 * πy² cancels out so we're left with 1.4x / x which becomes 1.4, signifying that the area of the sector increases by 40%.
