Question 889740
The length and breadth of a field are 20 m and 10 m respectively. If its length is increased by 20% and breadth
is decreased by 10%, the new area will be what times of old area?.
length is 20m and breadth is 10 m    area =20x10=200 m^2
length is increased 20% means new length will be =20x1.2=24 m
breadth reduced 10% means new breadth will be = 10x0.9=9m
new area =24x9= 216 m^2 
new area increased  =216-200/200=8% 
new area increase by 8% answer
