Question : If each side of a rectangle is decreased by 11%, then its area will decrease by:
Option 1: 25%
Option 2: 21.13%
Option 3: 24.31%
Option 4: 20.79%
Correct Answer: 20.79%
Solution : Let the original length = 100, original breadth = 100 We know the area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth So, original Area = 100 × 100 = 10000 Reduced length = 89, reduced breadth = 89 So, new area = 89 × 89 = 7921 Decrease in area = 10000 – 7921 = 2079 $\therefore$ Percentage decrease in area $=\frac{2079}{10000}×100 = 20.79\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 20.79%.
