Answer 1

----------------------------------------

Here is the solution:

----------------------------------------

Find the additional days needed for the addition land added:

Additional days = 18 - 15 = 3 days

Find the area of the field ploughed in a day:

Given that 14 hectares are added:

3 days = 14 hectares

1 day = 14/3 hectares

Find the area of the field ploughed in the 15 days:

1 day = 14/3

15 days = 14/3 x 15 = 70 hectares

Find the area of the field after 14 hectares were added:

Total area = 70 + 14 = 84 hectares

Answer: The area of the field was 70 hectares. It became 84 hectares after 14 hectares were aded.
