Let length = L and breadth = BLet , New breadth = ZThen, New length = ( 160 / 100) L.= 8L / 5? 8L / 5 x Z = LBor Z = 5B/8Decrease in breadth = (B-5B/8)= 3B/8? Decrease in percent = (3B/8 x1/B ) x 100 %= 371/2%
Let the length, breadth and height of the room be l, b and h respectively As per question Cost of 2(l + b) x h = Rs. 48 ? Required cost = cost of 2 (2l + 2b) x 2h= cost of 4 [2(l + b) x h ]= 4 x Rs. 48= Rs. 192
Let the diagonal of one square be (2d) cmThen, diagonal of another square = d cm? Area of first square = [ 1/2 x (2d)2] cm2Area of second square = (1/2 x d2) cm2? Ratio of area = (2d)2/ d2= 4/1 = 4: 1
