    Question

    The length and breadth of a rectangular field are

    increased by 25% and 45%, respectively. If the original dimensions of the field are 60 m in length and 40 m in breadth, what is the percentage increase in the perimeter?
    A 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 33% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 36% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Original perimeter of rectangular field = 2 × (60 + 40) = 200 m Increased length of rectangular field = 1.25 × 60 = 75 m Increased breadth of rectangular field = 1.45 × 40 = 58 m Increased perimeter of rectangular field = 2 × (75 + 58) = 266 m Required percentage increase = {(266 – 200)/200} × 100 = 33%
