Area Problems The length of a rectangular plot is 20 metres more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot @ 26.50 per metre is Rs. 5300, what is the length of the plot in metres? 120 40 Data inadequate None of these 120 40 Data inadequate None of these ANSWER EXPLANATION DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP Let breadth = x metres. Then, length = (x + 20) metres. Perimeter = ❨ 5300 ❩ m = 200 m. 26.50 ∴ 2[(x + 20) + x] = 200 ⟹ 2x + 20 = 100 ⟹ 2x = 80 ⟹ x = 40. Hence, length = x + 20 = 60 m
