Length and breadth of a rectangular field are in the ratio 5 : 2. If the perimeter of the field is 238 m. Find the length of the field.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e 85 m.
| Understanding | Application |
|
Let the length and the breadth of the field be 5x and 2x respectively. Perimeter = 2( Breadth + Length) |
Perimeter = 238 m So, ⇒ 2(5x + 2x) = 238 m ⇒ 5x + 2x = 119 m ⇒ 7x = 119 m ⇒ x = 17 m Hence, Length = 5 × 17 m = 85 m Breadth = 2 x 17 m= 34 m |
