Q:

The length of a rectangular hall is 5m more than its breadth. The area of the hall is 750 sq.m. The length of the hall is

A) 20	B) 25
C) 30	D) 35

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30

Explanation:

Let breadth = x m

Then, length = (x+5)m

Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth

x(x+5) = 750

x² + 5x - 750= 0

(x+30)(x-25)= 0

x = 25 or x = -30

Hence, breadth x = 25m

=> Length = x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30m.

Tarun got 30% concession on the labelled price of an article and sold it for Rs. 8750 with 25% profit on the price he bought. What was the labelled price ?

A) 10000	B) 12000
