A towel, when bleached, was found to have lost 20% of its length and 10% of its breadth. The percentage of decrease in area is ?

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In this type of questions, first we need to calculate the area of tiles. With we can get by obtaining the length of largest tile.
Length of largest tile can be obtained from HCF of length and breadth.
So lets solve this,

Length of largest tile = HCF of (1517 cm and 902 cm)
= 41 cm

Required number of tiles =
\begin{aligned}
\frac{\text{Area of floor}}{\text{Area of tile}} \\
= \left(\frac{1517\times902}{41 \times 41}\right)\\
= 814

\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{We know }h^2 = b^2+h^2 \\
=>\text{Other side }= \sqrt{(17)^2-(15)^2} \\
= \sqrt{289-225} = \sqrt{64} \\
= 8 meter \\
Area = Length \times Breadth \\
= 15\times8 m^2 = 120 m^2

\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}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned} l*b = 460 m^2 \end{aligned} .. (i)
Lets suppose breadth of plot is = b rnLength will be,\begin{aligned}l=b*\frac{100+15}{100}\\=\frac{115b}{100}\end{aligned} .. (ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get :
\begin{aligned}
\frac{115b}{100}*b = 460 \\
b^2 = \frac{46000}{115} = 400 \\
=> b = \sqrt{400} = 20 meter
\end{aligned}
