The length of hall is (4/3) times its breadth. If the area of hall be 300 square meters, the difference between the length and the breadth is ?

1. 15 meters
2. 4 meters
3. 3 meters
4. None of these

Correct Option: D

Let breadth = b meters.
Then, length = 4b/3 meters.
∵ b x 4b/3 = 300

⇒ b² = 300 x 3/4
⇒ b² = 225
∴ b = 15

Hence, required difference = [(Length) - (Breadth) ]
= 4b/3 - b
= b/3
= 15/3 m
= 5 m
