The length of a rectangular plot is 20 meters more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot @ 26.50 per meter is Rs. 5300. What is the length of the plot in meter?

Question

Accepted Answer

let breadth = x then length = x+20 perimeter = 5300/26.50 = 200m 2(x+20+x) =200 => 4x+40 =200 x = 40 and length = 40+20 = 60m
