The length of a rectangular plot is 20 metres more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot @ 26.50 per metre is Rs. 5300, what is the length of the plot in metres?

Correct Answer: none of these

Explanation:

Let breadth = x metres.
Then, length = (x + 20) metres.


Perimeter =5300/23.50


2[(x + 20) + x] = 200
2x + 20 = 100
2x = 80
x = 40.
Hence, length = x + 20 = 60 m.
