(i) Harish made a rectangular garden, with its length 5 metres more than its width. The next year, he increased the length by 3 metres and decreased the width by 2 metres. If the area of the second garden was 119 sq m, was the second garden larger or smaller ? (ii) The length of a rectangle exceeds its breadth by 5 m. If the breadth were doubled and the length reduced by 9 m, the area of the rectangle would have increased by 140 m². Find its dimensions.

    Solution:(i) 
    In first case,
    Let length of the garden = x m
    then width = (x – 5) m
    Area = l x b = x(x – 5) sq. m
    In second case,

    (ii) In first case:

    Let us consider length of the rectangle be ‘x’ meter

    Width = (x – 5) meter

    Area = lb

    = x(x – 5) sq.m

    In second case:

    Length = (x – 9) meter

    Width = 2 (x – 5) meter

    Area = (x – 9) 2(x – 5) = 2(x – 9) (x – 5) sq.m

    So according to the question,

    2(x – 9) (x – 5) = x(x – 5) + 140

    2(x2 – 14x + 45) = x2 – 5x + 140

    2x2 – 28x + 90 – x2 + 5x – 140 = 0

    x2 – 23x – 50 = 0

    let us factorize,

    x2 – 25x + 2x – 50 = 0

    x(x – 25) + 2 (x – 25) = 0

    (x – 25) (x + 2) = 0

    So,

    (x – 25) = 0 or (x + 2) = 0

    x = 25 or x = -2

    ∴ Length of the first rectangle = 25meters. [Since, -2 is a negative value]

    Width = x – 5 = 25 – 5 = 20meters

    Area = lb

    = 25 × 20 = 500 m2
