      Question

      The ratio of length to breadth of a rectangle is 8:5.

      When the length and breadth of the rectangle is increased by 20% and decreased by 30% respectively, then its perimeter becomes 131 cm. Find the original area (in cm2) of the rectangle.

      B 1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the original length and breadth of the rectangle be 8x cm and 5x cm, respectively According to the question, 2 Γ— {(1.2 Γ— 8x) + (0.7 Γ— 5x)} = 131 Or, 9.6x + 3.5x = 65.5 Or, x = 65.5/13.1 = 5 Therefore, original area of the rectangle = 8x Γ— 5x = 40x2 = 1000 cm2
