Let length of rectangle = 5kand breadth of rectangle = 3kAccording to the quecation,5k - 3k = 8 ? 2k =8? k = 4? Lenght = 5k = 5 x 4 = 20 mBreadth = 3k = 3 x 4 = 12 m? Required area = Lenght x Breadth = 20 x 12 = 240 sq m
Let original length = x and original breadth = y. Original area = xy. New length = x . 2 New breadth = 3y. New area = ❨ x x 3y ❩ = 3 xy. 2 2 ∴ Increase % = ❨ 1 xy x 1 x 100 ❩% = 50%
