  • Question
  • A rectangular park 60 m long and 40 m wide has two concrete crossroads running in the middle of the park and rest of the park has been used as a lawn. If the area of the lawn is 2109 sq. m, then what is the width of the road?


  • Options
  • A. 2.91 m
  • B. 3 m
  • C. 5.82 m
  • D. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • 3 m 

    Explanation

    Area of the park = (60 x 40) = 2400 sq.m  

    Area of the lawn = 2109  sq.m 

    Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) = 291 sq.m   

     

    Let the width of the road be x metres. Then,   

    60x + 40x - (x * x) = 291  

    =>(x * x) - 100x + 291 = 0    

    =>(x - 97)(x - 3) = 0  

    =>x=3
