  • Question
  • A man walking at the speed of 4 kmph crosses a square field diagonally in 3 meters.The area of the field is


  • Options
  • A. 10000
  • B. 20000
  • C. 30000
  • D. 40000

  • Correct Answer
  • 20000 

    Explanation

    speed of the man = 4 x (5/18) m/sec = 10/9 m/sec

    time taken = 3 x 60 sec = 180 sec

    length of diagonal = speed x  time = (10/9) x 180 = 200m

    Area of the field = (1/2) x (dioagonal)²

    = (1/2) x 200 x 200 sq.m = 20000sq.m
