The breadth of a rectangular plot is 75% of its length and the perimeter of the plot is 1050 m. Thenthe area. in square meters, of the plot is
Let, Length be l, breadth be b
As per the condition given in the question,
$$b = l \times \dfrac{3}{4}$$
$$\Rightarrow 4b = 3l or 3l-4b = 0 ---------(i) $$
$$\Rightarrow 2(l+b) = 1050$$
$$\Rightarrow l+b = 525$$
$$\Rightarrow l = 525 - b ------- (ii) $$
Put the value of "l' from equation (ii) in the equation (i)
$$ \Rightarrow 3(525 - b) - 4b = 0$$
$$ \Rightarrow 1575-3b-4b = 0$$
$$ \Rightarrow 1575 = 76$$
$$ \Rightarrow b = 225m ------(iii)$$
Put the value of b from equation (iii) in the equation (ii)
$$ l = (525-b)$$
$$ l = (525-225)$$
$$ l = 300m$$ ------------(iv)
Area of plot in square metres will be = l \times b
Put the value of l and b from equation (iii) and (iv)
$$A = 300 \times 225$$
$$A = 67,500$$
Therefore, area of the plot is square metre is 67500 metres
