A large field of 900 hectares is divided into two parts. The difference of the areas of the two parts is one-fifth of the average of the two areas. What is the area of the smaller part in hectares

  • 395
  • 385
  • 415
  • 405
  • Explanation:

    Let the areas of the two parts be x and (900-x) hectares

    therefore, [x-(900-x)]=1/5[x+(900-x)/2]

    => 2x-900=90

    =>x=495

    Hence, area of smaller part = (900 - x) = (900 – 495) = 405 hectares.
