The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is:

Correct Answer: 153600

Explanation:

Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = (12000/60) * 8 = 1600m 


Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.  


Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.  


Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.


Area = (480 x 320) = 153600
