The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we need to set up equations based on the information given about the rectangular plot. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( L \) = Length of the rectangular plot (in meters) - \( B \) = Breadth of the rectangular plot (in meters) ### Step 2: Set Up the First Equation According to the problem, if the length is reduced by 5 meters and the breadth is increased by 3 meters, the area is reduced by 9 square meters. This can be expressed as: \[ (L - 5)(B + 3) = LB - 9 \] Expanding the left side: \[ LB - 5B + 3L - 15 = LB - 9 \] Cancelling \( LB \) from both sides gives: \[ -5B + 3L - 15 = -9 \] Simplifying this, we get: \[ 3L - 5B = 6 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Second Equation The problem also states that if the length is increased by 3 meters and the breadth by 2 meters, the area increases by 67 square meters. This can be expressed as: \[ (L + 3)(B + 2) = LB + 67 \] Expanding the left side: \[ LB + 2L + 3B + 6 = LB + 67 \] Cancelling \( LB \) from both sides gives: \[ 2L + 3B + 6 = 67 \] Simplifying this, we get: \[ 2L + 3B = 61 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 4: Solve the System of Equations Now, we have a system of two equations: 1. \( 3L - 5B = 6 \) 2. \( 2L + 3B = 61 \) We can solve these equations simultaneously. Let's first multiply Equation 2 by 5 to eliminate \( B \): \[ 10L + 15B = 305 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] Now, multiply Equation 1 by 3: \[ 9L - 15B = 18 \quad \text{(Equation 4)} \] ### Step 5: Add Equations 3 and 4 Now, add Equation 3 and Equation 4: \[ 10L + 15B + 9L - 15B = 305 + 18 \] This simplifies to: \[ 19L = 323 \] Thus, we find: \[ L = \frac{323}{19} = 17 \] ### Step 6: Substitute to Find \( B \) Now substitute \( L = 17 \) back into Equation 1: \[ 3(17) - 5B = 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ 51 - 5B = 6 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 5B = 45 \quad \Rightarrow \quad B = 9 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Area of the Circle The largest circle that can be inscribed in the rectangle will have a diameter equal to the smaller dimension, which is the breadth \( B \). Therefore, the radius \( r \) of the circle is: \[ r = \frac{B}{2} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \] The area \( A \) of the circle is given by: \[ A = \pi r^2 = \pi (4.5)^2 = \pi \cdot 20.25 \approx 63.617 \] ### Final Answer The approximate area of the largest circle drawn in the rectangular plot is: \[ \boxed{63.62} \text{ square meters} \]
