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 C One smaller plot of field 1 > one smaller plot of field 2

Area = 2464 sq m
Number of plots = 16
Area of one plot = 2464 $÷$ 16


= 125 + 25 + 03 + 1
= 154 sq m

Field 2: Area = 2520 sq m
Number of plots = 18
Area of one plot = 2520 $÷$ 18


= 110 + 28 + 2
= 140 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.
