The given info in the post is not sufficient to solve the problem and to give an answer.


As the problem posed,   it is   DEFECTIVE   and is a   FAKE.


To see similar problems posed correctly,  look into the lessons
    - Problems on the area and the dimensions of a rectangle surrounded by a strip
    - Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room
    - Problems on a circular pool and a walkway around it
in this site.


        I regularly observe the visitors at this forum,  who,
        without having knowledge on the subjects,  try
        to invent their own  "problems",  that are defective.
