      Rs. 8/metre is Rs. 560. If the length of the field is 11 metres more than its breadth, then find the length of the rectangular field.
      A 28 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 23 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20.5 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 22 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the length of the rectangular field be ‘l’ m Breadth of the rectangular field = (l – 11) m Therefore, perimeter of the rectangular field = 2 ×(l + l – 11) = (4l – 22) m According to the question, 4l – 22 = 560/8 Or, 4l = 70 + 22 Or, l = 92/4 = 23 metres
