    Question

    There is a rectangular paper, whose length and breadth

    are in the ratio 5:3, respectively and it has a perimeter of 80 metres. If a triangular piece with height of 11 metres and base of 12 metres is cut out from the given paper then find the area (in m2) of the remaining paper.
    A 319 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 379 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 389 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 309 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length and breadth of the rectangular be β€˜5x’ metres and β€˜3x’ metres, respectively Then, perimeter of the paper = 2 Γ— (length + breadth) = 2 Γ— (5x + 3x) = 16 x metres So, 16x = 80 So, x = (80/16) = 5 So, area of the entire paper = length Γ— breadth = (5 Γ— 5) Γ— (3 Γ— 5) = 25 Γ— 15 = 375 m2 Area of the triangular piece = (1/2) Γ— base Γ— height = (1/2) Γ— 11 Γ— 12 = 66 m2 So, area of the remaining paper = 375 – 66 = 309 m2
