The Length Of A Rectangular Plot Is Increased By 25%. To Keep It’s Area Uncharged The Width Of The Plot Should Be?

Answer»

LET the length be X metres and BREADTH be y metres 

Then it’s area =(xy)m2 

New length =(125/100 x)m =(5x/4)m. 

Let the new breadth be 2 metres 

Then xy 5x/4 x 2 => 2 = 4/5 y 

Decreased in WIDTH =(y -4/5 y) = y/5 metres 

Decreased % in width =(y/5 x 1/y x 100)% = 20%.

Let the length be x metres and breadth be y metres 

Then it’s area =(xy)m2 

New length =(125/100 x)m =(5x/4)m. 

Let the new breadth be 2 metres 

Then xy 5x/4 x 2 => 2 = 4/5 y 

Decreased in width =(y -4/5 y) = y/5 metres 

Decreased % in width =(y/5 x 1/y x 100)% = 20%.
