Q:

The length of a rectangular hall is 5m more than its breadth. The area of the hall is 750 sq.m. The length of the hall is

A) 20 B) 25
C) 30 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30

Explanation:

Let breadth = x m

 

Then, length = (x+5)m

 

Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth

 

x(x+5) = 750 

 

x² + 5x - 750= 0

 

(x+30)(x-25)= 0

 

x = 25 or x = -30

 

Hence, breadth x = 25m

 

=> Length = x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30m.

Answer

1. Answer : 2


Explanation : Productivity = Total production/area of Agr.land 


Productivity of UP = [ (35000+30000+25000) / (30/100) ] = 300000  


Productivity of MP = [ (30000+37500+27500) / (25/100) ] = 380000  


Productivity of Bihar = [ (22500+27500+25000) / (20/100) ] = 375000 


Productivity of Odisha = [ (22500+15000+10000) / (5/100) ]= 950000  


Productivity of Haryana = [ (30000+25000+35000) / (8/100) ] = 1125000  


Productivity of Punjab = [ (40000+35000+30000) / (12/100) ] = 875000 


The Productivity of Haryana is the maximum.

Production of Maize in Odisha = 10000 tones


Required % = (40000 - 10000)/100 = 300% 


 


 


4. Answer : 4 


Explanation : The ratio of prodution of Rice in Bihar to the production of Wheat in Haryana = 25000 tonnes : 25000 tonnes = 1 : 1  


 


 


5. Answer : 1  


Explanation : Income of MP from export of 40% of Rice at the rate of Rs.30 per kg = Rs.39crore


Income of UP from export of 30% of Rice at the rate of Rs.32 per kg = Rs.28.8 crore
