  • Question
  • A took 15 seconds to cross a rectangular field diagonally walking at the rate of 52 m/min and B took the same time to cross the same field along its sides walking at the rate of 68m/min. The area of the field is?


  • Options
  • A. 50
  • B. 60
  • C. 70
  • D. 80

  • Correct Answer
  • 60 

    Explanation

    length of the diagonal = 52 x (15/60) =13m 

    sum of length and breadth = 68 x (15/60) = 17m

     

    l 2 + b 2 = 13   o r   l + b   = 17

    area =lb = 1/2[(2lb)] = 1/2[(l+b)² - (l²+b²)] = 1/2[17² -169]

    =1/2 x 120 = 60 sq.m
