What is the area of this plot ? I. The perimeter of the plot is 208 metres. II. The length is more than the breadth by 4 metres.

Correct Answer: If the data in both the statements together are needed.

Explanation:

The area of the plot can be determined from both I and II as follows .


Let the breadth of the plot be x metres Then, length = (x + 4) metres


Thus, perimeter s 208 metres  2(x + 4 + x) = 208 ,


                                             4x =200,  x = 50.


So. length =54 metres. breadth = 50 metres.


Area of the plot =  2700 m^2.


Hence, both I and II are required
