Let original length = x and original breadth = y. Decrease in area = xy - ❨ 80 x x 90 y ❩ 100 100 = ❨ xy - 18 xy ❩ 25 = 7 xy. 25 ∴ Decrease % = ❨ 7 xy x 1 x 100 ❩% = 28%
clearly the cow will graze a circular field of area 9856 sq m and radius equal to the length of the rope.
Let the length of the rope be r mts then,
= 9856
= (9856 × 7) / 22 = 3136
r = 56 m
