The perimeter of the rectangular field is 480 meters and the ratio between the length and breadth is 5:3. Find the area of the field.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
According to the question:
2(l+b) = 480
l+b = 240
As, l : b = 5: 3 so, we can say that, 8x = 240, x = 30
Thus, length = 150 cm and breadth = 90 cm
Area = length x breadth = 150 x 90 = 13,500
