The length of a rectangular plot is 60% more than its breadth. If the diffrent between the length and the breadth of that rectangle is 24 cm, what is the area of the rectangle?
Answer: C
Write the length in terms of the breadth and use the given difference.
\[ l = 1.6b \quad\Longrightarrow\quad l - b = 0.6b = 24 \]
\[ b = 40 \text{ cm}, \qquad l = 64 \text{ cm} \]
\[ A = 64 \times 40 = 2560 \text{ cm}^{2} \]
"60% more than the breadth" means \( 1.6b \), so the difference is 60% of the breadth, not of the length - taking 24 as 60% of the length would give \( l = 40 \) and a smaller rectangle.
