An agricultural field is in the form of a rectangle having length X1 meters and breadth X2 meters (X1 and X2 are variable). If X1 + X2 = 40 meters, then the area of the agricultural field will not exceed which one of the following values?
1. 400 sq m
2. 300 sq m
3. 200 sq m
4. 80 sq m
1. 400 sq m
2. 300 sq m
3. 200 sq m
4. 80 sq m
Correct Answer – Option 1 : 400 sq m
Given
length of rectangle = X1
Breadth of rectangle = X2
Formula Used
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
Calculation
⇒ X1 + X2 = 40
⇒ We know that, all the rectangle, a square has largest area
⇒ For given rectangle to be square X1 = X2
⇒ X1 = X2 = 20 (for maximum area)
⇒ so Maximum Area = 20 × 20 = 400 sq m
