a rectangular carpet has an area of 60 sq . m . if its diagonal and longer side together equal 5 times the shorter side , the length of the carpet is :
[ "5 m'", "12 m'", "13 m'", "14.5 m'" ]
B
let , length = x meters and breadth = y meters then xy = 60 and ( x 2 + y 2 ) + x = 5 therefore , x = 60 and ( x 2 + y 2 ) = ( 5 y - x ) 2 or xy = 60 and 24 y 2 - 10 xy = 0 . therefore , 24 y 2 - 10 * 60 = 0 or y 2 = 25 or = 5 . therefore , x = ( 60 / 5 ) m = 12 m . so , length of the carpet = 12 m answer : b
