Q:

# A towel, when bleached, was found to have lost 20% of its length and 10% of its breadth.  The percentage of decrease in area is:

 A) 18% B) 28% C) 38% D) 48%

Explanation:

Let original length = x and original breadth = y.

Decrease in area = xy - $80100x×90100y$ = (7/25)xy

Decrease % =    (7/25)xy * (1/xy) * 100 = 28%
