Question

The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes, then what is the area of the park (in sq. m)?
Options:
A .  142000
B .  112800
C .  142500
D .  153600
Answer: Option D

Answer : Option D

Explanation :

l : b = 3 : 2 ------------------------------------------(Equation 1)
Perimeter of the rectangular park
= Distance travelled by the man at the speed of 12 km/hr in 8 minutes
= speed × time = 12 × 8/60 (∵ 8 minute = 8/60 hour)
= 8/5 km = 8/5 ×1000 m = 1600 m
Perimeter = 2(l + b)
=> 2(l + b) = 1600
=> l + b = 1600/2 = 800 m ---------------------------(Equation 2)
From (Equation 1) and (Equation 2)
l = 800 × 3/5 = 480 m
b = 800 × 2/5 = 320 m (Or b = 800 - 480 = 320m)
Area = lb = 480 × 320 = 153600 m2
