The breadth of a rectangular field is 60% of its length. If the perimeter of the field is 800 m.What is the area of the field?

Correct Answer: 37500

Explanation:

Let length = x meters, then breadth = 0.6x 


Given that  perimeter = 800 meters 


=> 2[ x + 0.6x] = 800 


=> x = 250 m 


Length = 250m and breadth = 0.6 x  250 = 150m 


Area = 250 x 150 = 37500 sq.m
