Question

Gopaiah sowed wheat and paddy in two fields of total area $5000$ square meters. Write a linear equation .

• A. $x+y=5000$
• B. $x-y=5000$
• C. $x+y+5000=0$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Let us assume that paddy is sown in an area of $x$ square metres and wheat is sown in an area of $y$ square metres.
$\Rightarrow$ total area$=x+y$
According to question,
Total area is $5000$ square metres
so, equation would be
$x+y=5000$

The correct option is D ($x+y=5000$)
