    The perimetre of a rectangle is 100 m. If the length is decreased by 2 m and the breadth is increased by 3 m then area increased by 44 m2. Find the length and breadth of the rectangle.

    A) 30 m, 20 m   

    B)   40 m, 30 m

    C) 50 m, 40 m

    D)               100 m, 90 m

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Explanation Let the length be x and breadth be y, then according to question \[2\left( x+y \right)=100\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,x+y=50\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\operatorname{y} = 50 - x\] \[\left( x\,-\,\,2 \right)\left( 53\,\,-\,\,x \right)=x\left( 50\,\,-\,\,x \right)+44\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,-{{X}^{2}}+ 53x + 2x -106 = 50x - {{X}^{2}}+ 44\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,5x=106+44\, \Rightarrow \,\,5x=150 \,\Rightarrow \,\,x=30m\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,y=50-x=20\,\,m.\]
