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
-
- 153650 sq.metre
- 135600 sq.metre
- 153600 sq.metre
- 156300 sq.metre
- 153650 sq.metre
Correct Option: C
Distance covered by man in 8 minutes
= | metre | |||
60 |
= 1600 metre = Perimeter of park
Length of park = 3x metre (let)
Width = 2x metre
∴ 2(3x + 2x) = 1600
⇒ 5x = | = 800 | |
2 |
⇒ x = | = 160 | |
5 |
∴ Area of park = 3x × 2x = 6x² = 6 × (160)²
= 153600 sq. metre
