Q:

If the length of a certain rectangle is decreased by 4 cm and the width is increased by 3 cm, a square with the same area as the original rectangle would result. Find the perimeter of the original rectangle.

A) 20 B) 30
C) 40 D) 50
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50

Explanation:

Let x and y be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively.
Then, x - 4 = y + 3 or x - y = 7 ----(i)
Area of the rectangle =xy; Area of the square = (x - 4) (y + 3)
(x - 4) (y + 3) =xy <=> 3x - 4y = 12 ----(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get x = 16 and y = 9.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (x + y) = [2 (16 + 9)] cm = 50 cm.

Q:

A man traveled from the village to the post-office at the rate of 25 kmph and walked back at the rate of 4 kmph. If the whole journey took 5 hours 48 minutes, find the distance of the post-office from the village ?

A) 40 km B) 30 km

Average speed = 2aba+b, here a=25 b=4
= 2 x 25 x 4/(25+4) = 200/29 km/hr.

Distance covered in 5 hours 48 minutes
= Speed x time = (200/29)x (29/5) Distance covered in 5 hours 48 minutes = 40kms.
