Question

If the ratio of length to breadth of a rectangular field is 5:2 and the breadth is 240 m then find the length of the field.

• A. 600 m
• B. 1200 m
• C. 550 m
• D. 350 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A

600 m

Given the ratio of length and breadth is 5:2.

Let the length and breadth of the field be 5$x$ and 2$x$ respectively.

Given Breadth = 240 m

$\Rightarrow$ 2$x$ = 240

$\Rightarrow$ $x$ = 120

$\therefore$ Length of the rectangular field = 5$x$ = 5$\times$120 = 600 m
