      Question

      The length and breadth of a rectangular field are

      increased by 25% and 45%, respectively. If the original dimensions of the field are 60 m in length and 40 m in breadth, what is the percentage increase in the perimeter?
      A 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 33% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 36% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Original perimeter of rectangular field = 2 Γ— (60 + 40) = 200 m Increased length of rectangular field = 1.25 Γ— 60 = 75 m Increased breadth of rectangular field = 1.45 Γ— 40 = 58 m Increased perimeter of rectangular field = 2 Γ— (75 + 58) = 266 m Required percentage increase = {(266 – 200)/200} Γ— 100 = 33%
