The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will denote the original length and breadth of the rectangular plot as \( L \) and \( B \) respectively. We will set up equations based on the information given in the problem. ### Step 1: Set up the equations based on the area changes 1. **First Condition**: When the length is reduced by 5 meters and the breadth is increased by 3 meters, the area decreases by 9 square meters. \[ (L - 5)(B + 3) = LB - 9 \] 2. **Second Condition**: When the length is increased by 3 meters and the breadth is increased by 2 meters, the area increases by 67 square meters. \[ (L + 3)(B + 2) = LB + 67 \] ### Step 2: Expand both equations 1. **Expanding the first equation**: \[ LB + 3L - 5B - 15 = LB - 9 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 3L - 5B - 15 = -9 \implies 3L - 5B = 6 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. **Expanding the second equation**: \[ LB + 2L + 3B + 6 = LB + 67 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 2L + 3B + 6 = 67 \implies 2L + 3B = 61 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the system of equations We now have a system of linear equations: 1. \( 3L - 5B = 6 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 2L + 3B = 61 \) (Equation 2) We can solve these equations using substitution or elimination. Here, we will use the elimination method. 1. Multiply Equation 2 by 5: \[ 10L + 15B = 305 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] 2. Multiply Equation 1 by 3: \[ 9L - 15B = 18 \quad \text{(Equation 4)} \] 3. Add Equations 3 and 4: \[ (10L + 15B) + (9L - 15B) = 305 + 18 \] This simplifies to: \[ 19L = 323 \implies L = \frac{323}{19} = 17 \] ### Step 4: Substitute back to find \( B \) Now that we have \( L = 17 \), substitute it back into Equation 2 to find \( B \): \[ 2(17) + 3B = 61 \] \[ 34 + 3B = 61 \implies 3B = 27 \implies B = 9 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the area of the rectangular plot The area \( A \) of the rectangular plot is given by: \[ A = L \times B = 17 \times 9 = 153 \text{ square meters} \] ### Final Answer The area of the rectangular plot is **153 square meters**. ---
