    Question

    There is a rectangular paper, whose length and breadth

    are in the ratio 6:5, respectively and it has a perimeter of 44 metres. If a triangular piece with height of 9 metres and base of 16 metres is cut out from the given paper then find the area (in m2) of the remaining paper.
    A 47 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length and breadth of the rectangular be тАШ6xтАЩ metres and тАШ5xтАЩ metres, respectively Then, perimeter of the paper = 2 ├Ч (length + breadth) = 2 ├Ч (6x + 5x) = 22 x metres So, 22x = 44 So, x = (44/22) = 2 So, area of the entire paper = length ├Ч breadth = (6 ├Ч 2) ├Ч (5 ├Ч 2) = 12 ├Ч 10 = 120 m2 Area of the triangular piece = (1/2) ├Ч base ├Ч height = (1/2) ├Ч 9 ├Ч 16 = 72 m2 So, area of the remaining paper = 120 тАУ 72 = 48 m2
