Question

Field $1$ of area $2464$ square meters is equally divided into $16$ smaller plots. Similarly, field $2$ of area $2520$ square meters is equally divided into $18$ smaller plots. Identify the correct statement.

• A. One smaller plot of field $1>$ one smaller plot of field $2$
  
• B. One smaller plot of field $1=$ one smaller plot of field $2$
• C. One smaller plot of field $1<$ one smaller plot of field $2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A One smaller plot of field $1>$ one smaller plot of field $2$


Area $=2464\text{sq m}$
Number of plots$=16$
Area of one plot $=2464÷16$


$=125+25+03+1$
$=154\text{sq m}$

Field 2:
Area $=2520\text{sq m}$
Number of plots $=18$
Area of one plot $=2520÷18=140\text{sq m}$


$=110+28+2$
$=140\text{sq m}$

Here, we can see the area of a plot in field $1$ is larger than the area of a plot in field $2.$
