Numbers Test

We all being Logic Lovers, seem to have some out of the world relation with numbers. We behave as if numbers are talking to us. We feel modifying numbers and twisting numbers - an art as well as an adventure. So, for this kind of interest, I am here with some questions regarding the numbers, which with the help of simple logic, you will be able to answer. The questions, I am going to ask today will surely twist your brain nerves. These questions are mere IQ questions, but some of these questions require extended thinking, which is not so common in general audience. So, not wasting too much time, I directly come to the questions.
-> What are the number of squares present on the chess board? To clarify the question, we see 32 black and 32 white squares on the chess board. But, by combining certain squares, we start getting bigger squares too. ie, squares of 2 X 2, 3 X 3 and so on. So, you are supposed to answer the total number of squares, we can get on the chess board.
-> There is a cuboid given with length l, breadth b and height h. Now, by stretching on these three dimensions, I create another cuboid. I increase the length of cuboid by 10%,, breadth of cuboid by 15% and height of cuboid by 20%. You are supposed to tell me the change in the volume of this cuboid. Now, consider a cube with all three dimensions, L, L and L. Now, if I increase these three dimensions by 10%, 15% and 25%. What is the change in the surface area of this cube?
-> In the world of natural numbers, there are three numbers as such, the addition of these three numbers is equal to the multiplication of these numbers. What are these three numbers?

These three questions can be used to measure your command on the numbers.
These percentages are defined with the help of a survey on fifty persons taken of different genre. So, it can be used on a larger scale too.
Some other number puzzles for you all, from my collection of puzzles:

ie,
1. If you get all three questions correct, you are thorough with the concepts related to numbers.
2. If you get two out of three questions correct, you are better than 95% of the general audience.
3. If you get one question correct, you are better than 75%  of the general audience.

If you reach to answers, comment those answers below this post. I am eager to know your capabilities. You can also ask these questions to your friends with the help of Sharing options available. All the best to you all. I am looking forward to your answers.
