  1. The length of a plot is five times its breadth. A playground measuring 245 square metres occupies half of the total area of the plot. What is the length of the plot?
    1. 35√2 metres
    2. 175√2 metres
    3. 490 metres
    4. 5√2 metres
Correct Option: A

Using Rule 9,
Let breadth of plot = x m
∴ length = 5x m. According to question,

5x²
= 245
2

⇒ x² =
245 × 2
= 98
5

⇒ x = 72m
∴ Length = 5 × 7 √2 = 35√2 m
