If the length of a rectangle is increased by 20% and it’s breadth is decreased by 20% then it area________?

Areas 10/07/2020

A. Increased by 4%
B. decreased by 4%
C. Decreased by 1%
D. Remains unchanged

Explanation:

Let length = x metres and breadth = y metres, then area =(xy)

New length =(120/100x)m = 6x/5 m

New breadth =(80/100 y)m

New area =(6x/5 x 4y/5)m2 = (24/25 xy)m2

Decreased in area =(xy – 24/25 xy)m2= xy/25 m2

Decreased % =(xy/25 x 1/xy x 100)% = 4%
