    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the length and the breadth of the rectangular field be ‘l’ meter and ‘b’ meter, respectively. So, the area of the rectangular field = l × b = 800 l = 800/b Perimeter of the rectangular field = 2(l + b) = 104 l + b = 52 800/b + b = 52 800 + b² = 52b b² – 52b + 800 = 0 b² – 40b – 12b + 800 = 0 b(b – 40) – 12(b – 40) = 0 (b – 12)(b – 40) = 0 b = 40, 12 b = 12 m and l = 40 m as length is greater than breadth So, the desired percentage = {(40 – 12)/40} × 100 = 70%
