The building depreciates at 10% per annum, so its value after t years is 133,100 × (0.9)^t. The land appreciates at 10% per annum, so its value after t years is 72,900 × (1.1)^t. Setting these equal and solving for t gives approximately 4 years.

To find 45% of (25% of Rs 1600), first calculate 25% of Rs 1600: 25% of 1600 = 0.25 × 1600 = Rs 400. Then calculate 45% of Rs 400: 45% of 400 = 0.45 × 400 = Rs 180. Therefore, the correct answer is Rs 180, which corresponds to option C.

If the length of a rectangle is increased by 60%, the new length is 1.6 times the original length. To maintain the same area, the width must be decreased so that the product of the new length and new width equals the original area. Let the fractional decrease in width be y. Then (1.6) × (1 - y) = 1. Solving for y gives y = 0.375, which means the width must be decreased by 37.5%. Among the given options, 37% (option C) is the closest and correct percentage decrease to maintain the same area.
