Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 150 km2 Solution: Let the larger area be x Km2 and smaller area be y Km2. ⇒ x + y = 500 ----(1) According to the question, the difference of the areas of two parts is 4/5 of the average of two areas. ⇒ (x – y) = 4/5[(x + y)/2] ⇒ (x – y) = 2/5(x + y) ----(2) Put the value of (x + y) from equation (1) in equation (2), ⇒ (x - y) = 2/5 × 500 ⇒ x – y = 200 ----(3) On solving equation (1) and (3) we get, ⇒ x = 350 Km2 and y = 150 Km2 Hence the area of smaller part is 150 Km2. |
