Q:

The length of a rectangle is twice its breadth. If its length is decreased by 5 cm and breadth is increased by 5 cm, the area of the rectangle is increased by 75 sq.cm. Find the length of the rectangle?

A) 10cm B) 20cm
C) 30cm D) 40cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20cm

Explanation:

Let the breadth of the given rectangle be x then length is 2x.
thus area of the given rect is 2x2

 

 

 

after dec 5cm from length and inc 5cm breadth , new lenght becomes 2x-5 and breadth is x+5.thus new area =(2x-5)(x+5)=2x2+5x-25

since new area is 75 units greater than original area thus
2x2+75 = 2x+5x-25
5x=75+25
5x=100
therefore x=20
hence length of the rectangle is 40 cm.
