प्रश्न

If the length of a rectangle is reduced by 5 units and its breadth is increased by 3 units, then the area of the rectangle is reduced by 9 square units. If length is reduced by 3 units and breadth is increased by 2 units, then the area of rectangle will increase by 67 square units. Then find the length and breadth of the rectangle.

उत्तर

Let the length of the rectangle be ‘x’ units and the breadth of the rectangle be ‘y’ units.

Area of the rectangle = xy sq. units

length of the rectangle is reduced by 5 units

∴ length = x – 5

breadth of the rectangle is increased by 3 units

∴ breadth = y + 3

area of the rectangle is reduced by 9 square units

∴ area of the rectangle = xy – 9

According to the first condition,

(x – 5) (y + 3) = xy – 9

∴ xy + 3x – 5y – 15 = xy – 9

∴ 3x – 5y = -9 + 15

∴ 3x – 5y = 6   ...(i)

length of the rectangle is reduced by 3 units

∴ length = x – 3

breadth of the rectangle is increased by 2 units

∴ breadth = y + 2

area of the rectangle is increased by 67 square units

∴ area of the rectangle = xy + 61

According to the second condition,

(x – 3) (y + 2) = xy + 67

∴ xy + 2x – 3y – 6 = xy + 67

∴ 2x – 3y = 67 + 6

∴ 2x – 3y = 73   ...(ii)

Multiplying equation (i) by 3,

9x – 15y = 18   ...(iii)

Multiplying equation (ii) by 5,

10x – 15y = 365   ...(iv)

Subtracting equation (iii) from (iv),

10x – 15y = 365
9x – 15y = 18        
-     +           -           
  x    =     347

Substituting x = 347 in equation (ii),

2x – 3y = 73

∴ 2(347) – 3y = 73

∴ 694 – 73 = 3y

∴ 621 = 3y

∴ y = `621/3`

∴ y = 207

∴ The length and breadth of rectangle are 347 units and 207 units respectively.

Notes

There should be a printing mistake in the textbook because in the question, if "less than 9 square units" is taken, then only the answer given in the textbook will come.

The ratio of two numbers is 2:3. If 5 is added in each numbers, then the ratio becomes 5:7 find the numbers.

The ratio of two numbers is 2:3.

So, let the first number be 2x and the second number be `square`.

From the given condition,

`((2x) + square)/(square + square) = square/square`

`square (2x + square) = square (square + square)`

`square + square = square + square`

`square - square = square - square`

`- square = - square`

x = `square`

So, The first number = `2 xx square = square`

and, Second number =  `3 xx square = square`

Hence, the two numbers are `square` and `square`
