    A 53% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 100% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 70% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 85% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the length and the breadth of the rectangular field be β€˜l’ meter and β€˜b’ meter, respectively. So, the area of the rectangular field = l Γ— b = 480 l = 480/b Perimeter of the rectangular field = 2(l + b) = 88 l + b = 44 480/b + b = 44 480 + bΒ² = 44b bΒ² – 44b + 480 = 0 bΒ² – 30b – 14b + 480 = 0 b(b – 30) – 14(b – 30) = 0 (b – 14)(b – 30) = 0 b = 30, 14 b = 14 m and l = 30 m as length is greater than breadth So, the desired percentage = {(30 – 14)/30} Γ— 100 = 53.33%
