Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the piece be x
⇒ Cost price of cloth =Rs.35
⇒ Cost price of 1m cloth =Rs.x35
According to the question,
⇒ (x+4)(x35−1)=35
⇒ 35−x+x140−4=35
⇒ 35x−x2+140−4x=35x
⇒ x2+4x−140=0
⇒ x2+14x−10x−140=0
⇒ x(x+14)−10(x+14)=0
⇒ (x+14)(x−10)=0
⇒ x+14=0 and x−10=0
∴ x=−14 and x=10
Length cannot be negative.
∴ The length of the piece is 10m.
