The length of a rectangular hall is 5m more than its breadth. The area of the hall is 750 sq.m. The length of the hall is

Correct Answer: 30

Explanation:

Let breadth = x m


 


Then, length = (x+5)m


 


Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth


 


x(x+5) = 750 


 


x² + 5x - 750= 0


 


(x+30)(x-25)= 0


 


x = 25 or x = -30


 


Hence, breadth x = 25m


 


=> Length = x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30m.
