A) 110 B) 120
C) 130 D) 140

2(x+y) = 46         =>   x+y = 23  

x²+y² = 17² = 289  

now (x+y)² = 23² 

=> x²+y²+2xy= 529 

=> 289+ 2xy = 529

=> xy = 120  

area = xy = 120 sq.cm

A) 1 B) 2
C) 3 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3

Area of the lawn = 2109m2 

Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) = 291m2 

Let the width of the road be x metres. Then,

60x+40x-X2=291 

x2-100x+291=0 

  (x - 97)(x - 3) = 0
   x = 3.
