Manjeet wants to donate a rectangular plot of land for a school in his village. When he has asked to give dimensions of the plot, he told that if its length is decreased by 50 m and breadth is increased by 50 m, then its area will remain same, but if its length is decreased by 10 m and breadth is decreased by 20 m, then its area will decrease by 5300 m2m^2. If length and breadth of the plot are xx and yy respectively, then based on above information answer the question.

The length of the plot is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Adding the two equations x−y=50x - y = 50 and 2x+y=5502x + y = 550: 3x=6003x = 600, so x=200x = 200 m. The length of the plot is 200 m.
