Kajal spends 55% of her monthly income on grocery, clothes and education in the ratio of 4 : 2 : 5 respectively. If the amount spent on clothes is Rs. 5,540/-, what is Kajal's monthly income ?
Rs. 55,400/-
Rs. 54,500/-
Rs. 55,450/-

32 : 9
None of these

Area of a rectangular field is 3584 m2 and the length and the breadth are in the ratio 7 : 2 respectively. What is the perimeter of the rectangle ?
246m
292m
286m
288m
None of these
Answer : Option D.
Here, L : B = 7: 2 or L = 7a, B = 2a.
So area= 7a × 2a.
Given that the area is 3584m2 => 14a2 = 3584 => a = 16.
So L = 112 and B = 32.
So, Perimeter = 2 (L + B) = 2 × 144 = 288m
