Question:

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.

Options:

7200 sq m

15000 sq m

54000 sq m

13500 sq m

Correct Answer:

13500 sq m

Explanation:

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
