Length of a floor is 4 metre more than its breadth. If both the length and breadth are
increased by 1 metre each the area increases by 27 square metre. Find the length and
breadth of the floor. Also find the area of the floor.
(Ans. Length = 15 m, Breadth = 11 m, Area
Breadth = 11 m, Area = 165 sq. m)

Breadth of a floor is x m.
Cᴀsᴇ - 1 ;-
Length of a floor is 4 m more than it's breadth.
➙ Length of the floor = (x + 4) m
[NOTE :- Here the shape of the floor is rectangular.]
Cᴀsᴇ - 2 ;-
If both the length and breadth are
increased by 1 m, then
➙ Length of the floor = (x + 4) + 1
➙ Length of the floor = (x + 5) m
➙ Breadth of the floor = (x + 1) m
After adding 1 m in both length & breadth, the area is increased by 27 m² from before.
=》(x² + 6x + 5) = (x² + 4x) + 27
=》(x² + 6x + 5) - (x² + 4x) = 27
=》x² + 6x + 5 - x² - 4x = 27
=》6x - 4x + 5 = 27
=》2x = 27 - 5
=》2x = 22
=》x = ²²/₂
=》x = 11
The breadth of the floor is 11 m.
➙ Length of the floor = (x + 4) m
➙ Length of the floor = (11 + 4) m
➙ Length of the floor = 15 m
The length of the floor is 15 m.
⇒ Area = Length × Breadth
⇒ Area = 15 × 11
⇒ Area = 165 m²
