If the length of a rectangular field is increased by 20% and the breadth is reduced by 20%, the area of the rectangle will be 192 m2. What is the area of the original rectangle ?

  • 184 m2
  • 196 m2
  • 204 m2
  • 225 m2
  • None of these
  • Explanation:

    Change in area = 20- 20- 20×20/100 =-4%

    ∴ 4% area is decreased.

    let x be the initial area.

    Then, 96x/100 =192

    96x = 19200

    x = 19200/96

    x = 200m2
