The length of a rectangular plot is five times of its breadth. If the area of the rectangular plot is 2000 m2 ,then what is the breadth of the rectangular plot?
1. 10 m
2. 20 m
3. 30 m
4. 40 m
1. 10 m
2. 20 m
3. 30 m
4. 40 m
Correct Answer – Option 2 : 20 m
Given:
Area of the rectangular plot is 2000 m2
Calculation:
Let breath of the rectangle be x m
So, length = 5x m
5x m × x m = 2000 m2
⇒ 5x2 m2 = 2000 m2
⇒ x2 = 400
⇒ x = 20
⇒ Breath = 20 m
∴ The breadth of the rectangular plot is 20 m
