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 equations in terms of x and y are: |
x – y = 50, 2x + y = 550 x + y = 40, 2x – y = 550 x – y = 10, 2x + y = 50 x – y = 30, 2x + y = 505 |
x – y = 50, 2x + y = 550 |
So $(x-50)(y+50)=x y$ $xy - 50y + 50x - 2500 = xy$ so $50x-50y = 2500$ $\Rightarrow x - y =50$ .....(1) $(x-10)(y-20)=x y-5300$ $xy - 10y -20x + 200 = xy - 5300$ $10 y + 20 x=5500$ $2 x+y=550$ .....(2) Option: 1 |
