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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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.
