Practicing Success
Read the text carefully and answer the questions: Mohan wants to donate a rectangular plot of land for a hospital in his village. When he was asked to give dimensions of the plot, he told that if its length (x) is decreased by 50 m and breadth (y) is increased by 50 m, then its area will remain same, but if length is decreased by 10 m and breadth is decreased by 20 m, then its area will decrease by 5300 m2. |
The value x is: |
150 m 100 m 200 m 300 m |
200 m |
$x-y = 50$ .....(1) $2x-y = 550$ .....(2) eq(1) + eq(2) $\Rightarrow 3x = 600$ $x = 200$ Option: 3 |
