A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered.If the area of the field is 680 sq.ft, how many feet of fencing will be required ?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let original length = x
and original width = y
Decrease in area will be
\begin{aligned}
= xy-\left( \frac{80x}{100}\times\frac{90y}{100}\right) \\
= \left(xy- \frac{18}{25}xy\right) \\
= \frac{7}{25}xy \\
\text{Decrease = }\left(\frac{7xy}{25xy} \times100\right) \% \\
= 28\%
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Area of triangle, A1 = }\frac{1}{2}*base*height \\
= \frac{1}{2}*15*12 = 90 cm^2 \\
\text{Area of second triangle =} 2*A1 \\
= 180 cm^2 \\
\frac{1}{2}*20*height = 180 \\
=> height = 18 cm


\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Area of each slab =
\begin{aligned}
\frac{72}{50}m^2 = 1.44 m^2\\
\text{Length of each slab =}\sqrt{1.44} \\
= 1.2m = 120 cm

\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{We know area of square =}a^2 \\
\text{Area of triangle =}\frac{1}{2}*a*h \\
=> \frac{1}{2}*a*h = a^2 \\
=> h = 2a

\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let breadth =x metres.
Then length =(115x/100)metres.
\begin{aligned}
=x*\frac{115x}{100}= 460\\
x^2=(460 x 100/115) \\
x^2=400 \\
x= 20 \\
\end{aligned}
