  1. Answer:

    200cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. by increasing the length of field by 50% the new length is = 60 + 60 × 50/100 = 60+30 =90m
    2. by decreasing the width of field by 50% the new width is = 20- 20×50/100 = 20 – 10 = 10m
    3. the new perimeter of rectangular farm = 2(l+b)= 2( 90 + 10) = 2×100 = 200m

  2. Answer:

    200 m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Original length = 60 m

    breadth = 20 m

    New length = original + 50% of original

    = 60 + 50% of 60

    = 60 + (50/100 × 60)

    = 90 m

    New breadth = original – 50% of original

    = 20 – 50% of 20

    = 20 – (50/100 × 20)

    = 10 m

    New perimeter = 2(length + breadth)

    = 2(90 + 10)

    = 200 m
