Answer» Let the length of the room is represented by 'l' and breadth by 'b'. Given that length and breadth of the room is increased by 1m. = > (l + 1) * (b + 1). We know that Area of floor = l * b. Given that area of the floor is increased by 21 m^2. = > (l + 1) * (b + 1) = lb + 21 = > (l + 1) * (b + 1) - lb = 21 = > lb + l + b + 1 - lb = 21 = > l + b + 1 = 21 = > l + b = 20 -------- (1) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Given that length is increased by 1m and breadth is decreased by 1m. = > length = l + 1 = > breadth = b + 1. Given that area is decreased by 5m. = > (l + 1) * (b - 1) = lb - 5 = > (l + 1) * (b - 1) - lb = -5 = > lb - l + b - 1 - lb = -5 = > -(l - b) = -4 = > l - b = 4 ------- (2) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On solving (1) & (2), we get = > l + b = 20 = > l - b = 4 --------------- 2b = 24 b = 12. Substitute b = 12 in (1), we get = > l + b = 20 = > l + 12 = 20 = > l = 8. Now, We know that perimeter of the floor = 2(l + b) = > 2(8 + 12) = > 2(20) = > 40m. error in question replace 3 by 5 |
