Case Study-I A rectangular floor area can be completely tiled with 200 square tiles. If the side length of each tile is increased by 1 unit, it would take only 128 tiles to cover the floor.
(i) Assuming the original length of each side of a ule be x units, make a quadratic equation from the above information.
(ii) Write the corresponding quadratic equation in standard form.
(iii) (a) Find the value of x, the length of side of a tile by factorisation.
OR
(b) Solve the quadratic equation for x, using quadratic formula.
