21 Let the lengths of the two pieces be 3x and 4x respectively.

Then, 3x + 4x = 140
7x = 140 ,

x = 20
 So, the the lengths of the two pieces are 60 cm and 80cm.
SO, the maximum length of the measuring stick = HCF of (60,80)= 1

So, DE = BC (CPCT)
Also, AD = BC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
AE = AD + DE = 2BC

27 Let P be the pole to be erected and A, B be the opposite fixed gates.

Given, PA – PB = 7
Let PA = a, PB = b
Hence a – b = 7
⇒ a = 7 + b ..(1)

132 = a2+ b2
169=(7+b)2+b2

169=49+14b+2b2
Hence b=5 or –12
Therefore, b=5 ⇒ a=7+5= 12
