The length of a rectangular plot is 20 metres more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot @ 26.50 per metre is Rs. 5300, what is the length of the plot in metres?
A. 40 B. 50
C. 120 D. Data inadequate
E. None of these

• Let breadth = x metres.
  
  Then, length = (x + 20) metres.
  
  Perimeter = 5300 m = 200 m.
  26.50
  
  2[(x + 20) + x] = 200
  
  2x + 20 = 100
  
  2x = 80
  
  x = 40.
  
  Hence, length = x + 20 = 60 m.
