If a farmer wants to plough a farm field on time, he must plough 90 hectares a day. For technical reasons he ploughed only 85 hectares a day, hence he had to plough 2 more days than he planned and he still has 40 hectares left. What is the area of the farm field and how many days the farmer planned to work initially? Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 1600
B) 2490
C) 3780
D) 4235
E) 6179

Rationale: "let x be the number of days in the initial plan . therefore , the whole field is 90 â ‹ … x hectares . the farmer had to work for x + 2 days , and he ploughed 85 ( x + 2 ) hectares , leaving 40 hectares unploughed . then we have the equation : 90 x = 85 ( x + 2 ) + 40 5 x = 210 x = 42 so the farmer planned to have the work done in 6 days , and the area of the farm field is 90 ( 42 ) = 3780 hectares correct answer c"
