Question : The area of a rectangular field is 480 m2. If the length is 20% more than the breadth, then the length of the rectangular field is:
Option 1: 30 m
Option 2: 20 m
Option 3: 24 m
Option 4: 27 m
Correct Answer: 24 m
 
  Solution :
 
 Given: The area of a rectangular field = $480\ m^2$
 
  Let the breadth be $10x$
  
  Length is 20% more than breadth = $\frac{120}{100}\times10x$
  
  $= 12x$
  
  Area of the rectangle = length × breadth
  
  ⇒ $480 = 10x \times 12x$
  
  ⇒ $480 = 120x^2$
  
  ⇒ $x^2=4$
  
  ⇒ $x=2$
  
  $\therefore$ Length = $12x=12\times2=24$ m
  
  Hence, the correct answer is 24 m.
