Answer / chinmaya panda
let the width of rectangle be x
so the length & breath is increased by 2x(draw on a paper
then only u'll understand)
so new total area along with walkway is (60+2x)*(20+2x)
so (60+2x)*(20+2x)-60*20=516
=>(60+2x)*(20+2x)=1716
=>(30+x)*(10+x)=429=33*13
=>x=3
which is da width of gateway

Answer / anuja malviya
let whole width of garden=60+2x
let whole length of garden=20+2x
where x=common width of gateway
thus,
(60+2x)(20+2x)-1200=516
=>1200+120x+40x+4x^2-1200=516
4x^2+160x-516=0
=>x=3

Answer / karthikeyan
the area of walk way with width X is 2(60*x)+2*(20*x) = 516
120X+40X = 516
160 X = 516
X= 3.225 = 3 (approx)

Answer / sachin chauhan
let whole width of garden=60+2x
let whole length of garden=20+2x
where x=common width of gateway
thus,
(60+2x)(20+2x)-1200=516
=>1200+120x+40x+4x^2-1200=516
4x^2+160x-516=0
4(x^2+40x-129)=0
x^2+40x-129=0
x^2+43x-3x-129=0
x(x+43)-3(x+43)=0
(x+43)(x-3)=0
=>x=3,-43
but width can never be -ve
so answer is 3 meter

Answer / ravindra sharma
total area = 1200
area of walk way = 516 (given)
area of remaning part(R)(with out walkway path area)
=1200-516
=684
let,
length= l
width= b
area or R=>l*b =684
but,
l=60-2x (x is width of the walk way)
b=20-2x
so,
(60-2x)*(20-2x)=684
=> (x^2)-40x+129=0
=> x=36.46 (not possibal)
and
x=3.5379(so ans is 3.5)

Answer / prasad
formulae for area of path=
a=2w(l+b+2w)
where a is path area,
l=lenth
b=brieth
w =width
516=2w(60+20+2w)
finally we get 4w^2+160w-516=0
from options 3 is satisfied.

Answer / arunkumar
ground is rectangle shaped so if I consider the width the new length will be original length+2* width
therefore new L=60+2(3)==66
b=20+2(3)==26
(66*26)-(60*20)=516
condition satisfied ...Ans will be 3

Answer / shreyas
length : breadth is 6:2
6+2=8
512/8=64
64*6=384
64*2=132
384/60=6.5
132/20=6.5
The width of the pathways are 3.25

alok and bhanu play the following min-max game. given the expression N=40+X+Y-Z,where X,Y,Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9),Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it.Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X,Y or Z).Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value.Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable.Assuming both play to their optimal strategies,the value of N at the end of the game would be: a)49 b)51 c)31 d)58
