    Question

    Area of a square plot is equal to the area of a

    rectangular plot of 75 m length and 27 m width. If a path 2.5 metres wide running around the square plot on the outside is to be constructed, what will be the area of the path?
    A 950m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 625m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 475m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Data inadequate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Area of the square plot= area of the rectangular plot ⇒ a² = 75 × 27 = 2025 m² ⇒ a = √2025 = 45 m Side of the plot with path = 45 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 50m Area of the plot with the path = 50² = 2500m² Area of the path = 2500 – 2025 = 475m²
