A photograph is to be fitted in a photo frame of sides 18 cm by 15 cm such that there is a margin of 1.5 cm left. What should be the area of the photograph?

a. 140 cm2 b. 180 cm2 c. None of these d. 270 cm2

• 1.5 cm margin on bothsides....then 1.5+1.5=3cm
  area of photograph(rectangle) =(18-3)*(15-3)
  =180cm2

• 1.5 cm margin is left means 1.5 cm is taken as border on every side.

• but it is given that margin is at the left side. so how can you take for both the sides?

• l=18,b=15.
  after remove margin l=18-3(including both sides i.e 1.5+1.5=3)
  l =15
  similarly b=15-3
  b=12
  area=l*b
  =15*12
  =180

• 1.5cm left means it should be taken on every side...

• The total area is=18*15=270
  Margin=1.5
  Area of margin=2*(18*1.5 +10.5)
  =75
  Area of photo=270-75
  =195
  The ans is none
