Question

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

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B

600 m

Since the length and breadth are in the ratio is 5:2
Let the length and breadth of the field be 5 $x$ and 2 $x$ respectively

Given Breadth = 240 m ,
Hence 2$x$ = 240
and $x$ = 120

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