Q:

The length of a class room floor exceeds its breadth by 25 m. The area of the floor remains unchanged when the length is decreased by 10 m but the breadth is increased by 8 m. The area of the floor is 

A) 5100 sq.m B) 4870 sq.m
C) 4987 sq.m D) 4442 sq.m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5100 sq.m

Explanation:

Let the breadth of floor be 'b' m.

Then, length of the floor is 'l = (b + 25)'

Area of the rectangular floor = l x b = (b + 25) × b

According to the question,

(b + 15) (b + 8) = (b + 25) × b

b2 + 8b + 15b + 120 = b2 + 25b

2b = 120

b = 60 m.

l = b + 25 = 60 + 25 = 85 m.

 

Area of the floor = 85 × 60 = 5100 sq.m.

A) 4 hrs 10 min B) 3 hrs 15 min
C) 3 hrs 30 min D) 4 hrs 1 min

According to question

d/x+y + d/x-y = 5h 15m or 21/4 hrs ......(i)

and 2d/x-y = 7...... (ii)

From eq. (i) and (ii)

2d/x+y = 7/2
