A rectangular plot is given for constructing a house, having a measurement of 40 m long and 15 m in the front. According to the laws, a minimum of 3-m-wide space should be left in the front and back each and 2 m wide space on each of the other sides. Find the largest area where house can be constructed.

The correct Answer is:
To find the largest area where the house can be constructed on the given rectangular plot, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the dimensions of the plot The dimensions of the rectangular plot are given as: - Length = 40 m - Breadth = 15 m ### Step 2: Determine the space that needs to be left According to the laws: - A minimum of 3 m wide space should be left in the front and back. - A minimum of 2 m wide space should be left on each of the other sides (left and right). ### Step 3: Calculate the effective dimensions for the house 1. **Calculate the effective length:** - Total space to be left on the length side = 3 m (front) + 3 m (back) = 6 m - Effective length = Original length - Total space left - Effective length = 40 m - 6 m = 34 m 2. **Calculate the effective breadth:** - Total space to be left on the breadth side = 2 m (left) + 2 m (right) = 4 m - Effective breadth = Original breadth - Total space left - Effective breadth = 15 m - 4 m = 11 m ### Step 4: Calculate the area where the house can be constructed - Area = Effective length × Effective breadth - Area = 34 m × 11 m = 374 m² ### Conclusion The largest area where the house can be constructed is **374 m²**. ---
