The important question of Pair of linear equations in two variables chapter how i solve this question Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems and find their solutions (if they exist) by any algebraic method:(v) The area of a rectangle gets reduced by 9 square units, if its length is reduced by 5 units and breadth is increased by 3 units. If we increase the length by 3 units and the breadth by 2 units, the area increases by 67 square units. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

  1. Let,

    The length of rectangle = x unit

    And breadth of the rectangle = y unit

    Now, as per the question given,

    (x – 5) (y + 3) = xy -9

    3x – 5y – 6 = 0……………………………(1)

    (x + 3) (y + 2) = xy + 67

    2x + 3y – 61 = 0…………………………..(2)

    Using cross multiplication method, we get,

    x/(305 +18) = y/(-12+183) = 1/(9+10)

    x/323 = y/171 = 1/19

    Therefore, x = 17 and y = 9.

    Hence, the length of rectangle = 17 units

    And the breadth of the rectangle = 9 units
