Aptitude Hack#88(22-5-19)

Question:

 The difference between the two parallel sides of a trapezium is 4 cm. the perpendicular distance between them is 19 cm. If the area of the trapezium is 475 find the lengths of the parallel sides.
   A )   27 cm and 23 cm.
   B )   26 cm and 24 cm. 
   C )   29 cm and 21 cm.
   D )   25 cm and 25 cm.

Answer: A) 27 cm and 23 cm

Explanation: 
Let the two parallel sides of the trapezium be a cm and b cm.

Then, a – b = 4

And, (1/2) *(a + b) * 19 = 475 

=> (a + b) =((475 * 2)/19) 
=> a + b = 50

Solving (i) and (ii), we get: a = 27, b = 23.

So, the two parallel sides are 27 cm and 23 cm
