2. (A) Si de of the first square = (2x 1) m
2 2
Area (2 1) m = x
Si de of the second squar e = (5x + 4) m

[3(2 1)] (5 4) 0 + = x x
[3(2 1) 5 4] + + x x
[3(2x 1) 5x 4] = 0
(6x 3 + 5x + 4) (6x 3 5x 4) = 0
(11x + 1) (x 7) = 0

Dimensions of the plots cannot be negati ve.
Hence x = 7 2 1 x = 2(7) 1 = 13 m
5x + 4 = 5(7) + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39 m

The si de of the l ar ger pl ot i s 39 m.

Then mean = 2x and medi an = 3x.
We know that
Mode = 3 Medi an 2 Mean
= 3(3x) 2(2x) = 9x 4x = 5x
Hence the r equi r ed r ati o of mode and
mean i s 5x : 2x = 5 : 2.
