The perimeter of rectangle field is 32 metres and its sides are in the ratio 5 : 3. Then the sides of the fields are:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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
