Solution
The correct option is B 32 square feet
Total area of a square garden of side 12 feet = 12×12=144 square feet
Area of the flower bed of side 4 feet = 4×4=16 square feet
Remaining area = 144 – 16 = 128 square feet
The remaining area is divided into four equal sections.
Area of each section = 128÷4=32 square feet
This means that the area of each section with vegetables is 32 square feet.
Thus, the area of the section with potatoes is 32 square feet.
