Answer : 1. "90%"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 90% Explanation: Let length, breadth and height of the room be 7, 3, 1 unit respectively. Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(7+3)x1 = 20 sq. unit. Now, length, breadth and height of room will become 3.5, 6 and 2 respectively.  Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(3.5+6)x2 = 38 sq. unit.  % Increase in the area of walls = (38-20)x100/20 = 90%.

Explanation :

Answer: A) 50 days Explanation: 50 men can build a tank in 40 days  Assume 1 man does 1 unit of work in 1 day Then the total work is 50×40 = 2000 units   50 men work in the first 10 days and completes 50×10 = 500 units of work 45 men work in the next 10 days and completes 45×10 = 450 units of work 40 men work in the next 10 days and completes 40×10 = 400 units of work 35 men work in the next 10 days and completes 35×10 = 350 units of work So far 500 + 450 + 400 + 350 = 1700 units of work is completed and   Remaining work is 2000 - 1700 = 300 units   30 men work in the next 10 days. In each day, they does 30 units of work.   Therefore, additional days required = 300/30 =10   Thus, total 10+10+10+10+10 = 50 days required.
