  1. 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/hour completes one round in 8 minutes, then the area of the park is
    1. 153650 sq.metre
    2. 135600 sq.metre
    3. 153600 sq.metre
    4. 156300 sq.metre
Correct Option: C

Distance covered by man in 8 minutes

=
12 × 1000 × 8
metre
60

= 1600 metre = Perimeter of park
Length of park = 3x metre (let)
Width = 2x metre
∴ 2(3x + 2x) = 1600
⇒ 5x =
1600
= 800
2

⇒ x =
800
= 160
5

∴ Area of park = 3x × 2x = 6x² = 6 × (160)²
= 153600 sq. metre
