Use reasoning then. Replace a & b with words can? βΊ
Length of big square + breadth of small rectangle is 20cm
So, it means that 2 Lengths of big square + 2 breadths of small rectangle is 40cm
But as seen from the diagram, length of small square + 2 lengths of big square = 40cm
Hence, length of small square is twice breadth of small rectangle.
4 breadths of small rectangle is 20cm.
2 breadths is 10cm.
Hence, area = 10 Γ 10 = 100cm^2

Let the breadth of a rectangle be x. Then by symmetry the side length of the shaded square is 2x.
4x=20
x=5
Therefore the area of the shaded square is 100cm^2

A:C
1:4
U need to multiply this ratio by 4.
Hence u will get
A:C
4:16
Make the units of C same as B+G hence you'll get
B:G
3:5 (x 2)
6:10
Therefore, M:B is 1:6 (ans)
-------------
10-6=4
4u ---> 132
1u ---> 132/4 = 33
Since W:G is 3:6 then children left will be B+G--->6+6=12u
12u---> 33x12=396 (ans)
