The length of a rectangular plot is 60% more than its breadth. If the difference between the length and the breadth of that rectangle is 24 cm, what is the area of that rectangle?

A 2400 sq. cm

B 2480 sq. cm

C 2560 sq. cm

D date inadequate

Correct Answer: Option C

let, breadth=x length=x+x X 60/100=160x/100 now, 160x/100-x=24 or,60x=24x100 so,x=40 so,length=160x40/100=64 Area= 40x64=2560 sq cm
