the breadth of a rectangular hall is two - thirds of its length . if the area of the hall is 2400 sq metres , what is the length in metres ?
let the length of the rectangular hall be ‘ x ’ m , then the breadth of the rectangular hall = 2 x ⁄ 3 m . area of hall = 2 x ⁄ 3 × x = 2 x 2 ⁄ 3 or , 2 x 2 ⁄ 3 = 2400 or x = 60 m answer c

machine y produces 20 percent more widgets in an hour than machine x does in an hour . so if machine x produces 100 widgets , then machine y produces 120 widgets . ratio of 120 / 100 = 6 / 5 . this is their speed of work ( y : x ) . i . e . speed of their work ( x : y ) = 5 / 6 now , time is inversely proportional to speed . hence the ratio of the time spent ( x : y ) = 6 / 5 let us assume that they spend 6 x and 5 x hours . given that 6 x - 5 x = 60 so , x = 60 . hence 6 x = 6 * 60 = 360 hours . hence x takes 120 hours to produce 1080 widgets . so , in 1 hour , it can produce ( 1 * 1080 ) / 360 = 3 hence option ( e ) .
