If the difference between the length and breadth of a rectangle is 23 m and its perimeter is 206 m, what is its area?
Options.
A) 2520	B) 2510	C) 2525	D) 2025	E) 2020

Rationale: l - b = 23 . . . ( 1 ) perimeter = 206 2 ( l = b ) = 206 l + b = 103 . . . ( 2 ) ( 1 ) + ( 2 ) 2 l = 23 + 103 = 126 l = 126 / 2 = 63 metre substituting the value of l in ( 1 ) , we get 63 - b = 23 b = 63 - 23 = 40 metre area = lb = 63 ã — 40 = 2520 m 2 answer : a
Answer: A
