      13/metre is Rs. 1560. The ratio of the length to the breadth is 7:5. Find the area of the field.
      A 800 sq m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 875 sq m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 900 sq m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 950 sq m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 1000 sq m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the length and breadth be 7x metres and 5x metres respectively.
      According to the question,
      2 × (7x + 5x) = 1560 / 13
      Or, 2 × 12x = 120
      Or, 24x = 120
      Or, x = 5 metres
      Therefore, area = 7x × 5x = 35x² = 35 × 25 = 875 m²
