Question:

The perimeter of rectangle field is 32 metres and its sides are in the ratio 5 : 3. Then the sides of the fields are:

Options:

10 m and 6 m

9 m and 7 m

12 m and 10 m

5 m and 3 m

Correct Answer:

10 m and 6 m

Explanation:

Here,

Length : Breadth

   5      :    3

⇒ Perimeter = 2(L + B) = 2(5x + 3x) = 32m

⇒ 8x = 16 m

⇒ x = 12 m

Length = 5 x 2 = 10m and Breadth = 3 x 2 = 6m
