A) 30 B) 40
C) 50 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40

Explanation:

let length = 2x and breadth = x then
(2x-5) (x+5) = (2x * x)+75
5x-25 = 75 => x=20

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.
