R = rate, Ca = conc of chemical A, Cb = conc of chemical B
Let K be a constant.
We have, R = K * Ca^2 / Cb
If Cb becomes 2*Cb, we are asked to find out how Ca should change to
keep R the same. We know K is a constant.
K * Ca^2 / Cb = K* x *Ca^2 / 2*Cb
Solving for x, we get sqrt(2) i.e. 1.414
So, Ca should be increased by 41.4%
Hence D
