10 |
Shaded : Unshaded = Complete (rectangle) 100 : 35 = 135 Here, Area of Shaded part ⇒ 100R = 80 × 50 = 4000 ⇒ 1R = 40 Therefore, Area of complete rectangle ⇒ 135R = 135 × 40 = 5400 ⇒ (80 + x) (50 + x) = 5400 ⇒ x2 + 130x + 4000 = 5400 ⇒ x (x+ 130) = 5400 - 4000 ⇒ x (x+ 130) = 1400 Check from the option: x = 10 satisfy the equation. Therefore, value of x = 10. |
