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 sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more than the digit in the unit’s place. Complete the activity to find the original number.
Activity: Let the digit in the unit’s place be y and the digit in the ten’s place be x.
∴ The number = 10x + y
∴ The number obtained by interchanging the digits = `square`
∴ The sum of the number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 132
∴ 10x + y + 10y + x = `square`
∴ x + y = `square` ...(i)
By second condition,
Digit in the ten’s place = digit in the unit’s place + 2
∴ x – y = 2 ...(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii)
∴ x = `square`, y = `square`
Ans: The original number = `square`
