Solution
Length of a rectangle (l) = 30 m,
Breadth of the rectangle (b) = 20 m
Area of rectangle = l x b
= 30 x 20 = 600 m2
Since, the length its increased by 10 m and breadth is doubled
∴New length (l) = (30 + 10) m = 40 m
and new breadth = (20 x 2) m = 40 m
∴New area = l x b = 40 x 40 m2 = 1600 m2
Hence, the increase in the area = (1600 – 600) m2
= 1000 m2
