  • Question
  • The length and breadth of a rectangular piece of land are in the ratio of 5:3, the owner spent Rs.3000 for surrounding it from all the sides at Rs.7.50 per meter. The different between its length and breadth is?


  • Options
  • A. 50 m
  • B. 100 m
  • C. 150 m
  • D. 200 m

  • Correct Answer
  • 50 m 

    Explanation

    Let Length = 5y meters and breadth = 3y meters.

    Then, perimeter = 2 x (5y + 3y ) m = 16y meters ...(i)

    But perimeter = Total Cost / Rate = 3000 / 7.50 m = 400 m ...(ii)

    from eqs. (i) and (ii)
    16y = 400
    ? y = 25

    ? Length - Breadth = (5 x 25 - 3 x 25 ) m
    = 2 x 25 m
    = 50 m
