    Question

    In a rectangular field, the sum of the length and the breadth is 9 cm and the area is 18 cm². If the length is 'a' and breadth is 'b', then find the value of (a² – ab + b²).

    A.

    36

    B.

    24

    C.

    18

    D.

    27

    Correct option is D

    Given: a + b = 9 cm, a × b = 18 cm²
    Formula Used: (a² – ab + b²) = (a + b)² - 3ab
    Solution:
    a + b = 9 cm and a × b = 18 cm².
    (a² – ab + b²) = (a + b)² - 3ab,
    (a + b)² = 9² = 81.
    Now, (a² – ab + b²) = 81 - 3(18) = 81 - 54 = 27.
    Thus, the value of (a² – ab + b²) is 27.
