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?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let breadth = x metres.
Then, length = (x + 20) metres.
| Perimeter = |  |
5300 |  |
m = 200 m. |
| 26.50 |
2[(x + 20) + x] = 200
2x + 20 = 100
2x = 80
x = 40.
Hence, length = x + 20 = 60 m.
