Answer: A) 5100 sq.m Explanation: Let the breadth of floor be 'b' m. Then, length of the floor is 'l = (b + 25)' Area of the rectangular floor = l x b = (b + 25) × b According to the question, (b + 15) (b + 8) = (b + 25) × b b2 + 8b + 15b + 120 = b2 + 25b 2b = 120 b = 60 m. l = b + 25 = 60 + 25 = 85 m.   Area of the floor = 85 × 60 = 5100 sq.m.

Answer : 3. "Census"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Census Explanation: Redistricting is the process of drawing electoral district boundaries in the United States. The state legislature has primary responsibility for creating a redistricting plan, in many cases subject to approval by the state governor.
