    If the sides of an equilateral triangle be increased by 1 m its area is increased by \[\sqrt{3}\] sq. m. The length of any of its sides is -

    A)  2 m.                

    B)  \[\frac{5}{2}m.\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{2}m.\]          

    D)  \[\sqrt{3}m.\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Suppose x m be the side of the equilateral triangle Case I: Area = \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{{x}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}\] Case II: New side = \[\left( x+1 \right)m\] New area = \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{{(x+1)}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}\] Now, \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{{(x+1)}^{2}}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{{x}^{2}}=\sqrt{3}\] \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}[(2x+1)\times 1]=\sqrt{3}\] \[2x+1+4\Rightarrow \]
