Question:

The length of a rectangular plot is five times of its breadth. If the area of the rectangular plot is 2000 m2, then what is the breadth of the rectangular plot?

Options:

40 m

10 m

20 m

30 m

Correct Answer:

20 m

Explanation:

Let the breath of the plot = x

Then the length of the plot will be = 5x

according to the question,

Area of a rectangle = length × breadth

Area of a rectangle = 5x × x = 5x2

5x2 = 2000

x2 = 400

x = 20

So the breadth = 20 m.
