Vasu has a rectangular farmland A. The length of this farmland is x2y - 2xy + 3x2 and its perimeter is 2x2y + 6x2 - 2xy - 4y2. Today he purchased the adjacent farmland B and combined the two farmlands into one. The length of his farmland now increased by x2 + xy, while the breadth remained the same.

Answer

Given for Farmland A:

Length (LA) = x2y - 2xy + 3x2

Perimeter (PA) = 2x2y + 6x2 - 2xy - 4y2

(1)

We know the formula:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

Breadth=Perimeter - 2(Length)2\Rightarrow \text {Breadth} = \dfrac{\text{Perimeter - 2(Length)}}{2}

First, find 2(Length):

2(Length) = 2(x2y - 2xy + 3x2) = 2x2y - 4xy + 6x2

Now, calculate Perimeter - 2(Length):

2x2y+6x22xy4y2+2x2y+6x24xy+02x2y+002xy4y2\begin{array}{rcccccc} 2x^2y & + & 6x^2 & - & 2xy & - & 4y^2 \\ +2x^2y & + & 6x^2 & - & 4xy & + & 0 \\ -\phantom{2x^2y} & - & & + & & - \\ \hline 0 & & 0 & & 2xy & - & 4y^2 \\ \hline \end{array}

Perimeter - 2(Length) = 2xy - 4y2

Now we have:

Breadth = 2xy4y22\dfrac{2xy - 4y^2}{2}

Breadth = xy - 2y2

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

(2)

Original Length (LA) = x2y - 2xy + 3x2

Increase = x2 + xy

Combined Length = Original Length + Increase

Substituting the values above, we get:

Combined Length = (x2y - 2xy + 3x2) + (x2 + xy)

= (3x2 + x2) + (- 2xy + xy) + x2y \quad[Arranging like terms together]

= (3 + 1)x2 + (-1)xy + x2y

= 4x2 - xy + x2y

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

(3)

Combined Length = 4x2 - xy + x2y \quad[From step 2]

Breadth = xy - 2y2 \quad[From step 1]

Perimeter of combined farmland = ?

Let's apply the perimeter of a rectangle formula:

Perimeter of combined farmland = 2(Length + Breadth)

Let's first calculate Length + Breadth.

We have:

Length + Breadth = (4x2 - xy + x2y) + (xy - 2y2)

= 4x2 + (- xy + xy) + x2y + (- 2y2) \quad[Arranging like terms together]

= 4x2 + 0xy + x2y - 2y2

= 4x2 + x2y - 2y2

Now we have:

Perimeter of combined farmland = 2 x (4x2 + x2y - 2y2) = 8x2 + 2x2y - 4y2

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

(4)

Original Perimeter = 2x2y + 6x2 - 2xy - 4y2

Combined Perimeter = 8x2 + 2x2y - 4y2

Change in perimeter = Combined Perimeter - Original Perimeter

Substituting the values above, we get:

Change in perimeter = (8x2 + 2x2y - 4y2) - (2x2y + 6x2 - 2xy - 4y2)

= 8x2 + 2x2y - 4y2 - 2x2y - 6x2 + 2xy + 4y2 \quad[Simplifying brackets]

= (8x2 - 6x2) + (2x2y - 2x2y) + 2xy + (- 4y2 + 4y2) \quad[Arranging like terms together]

= 2x2 + 0x2y + 2xy + 0y2

= 2x2 + 2xy

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
