Question

DIRECTION for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option. In a garden, there are 10 rows and 12 columns of mango trees. The distance between two trees is 2 metres and a distance of one metre is left on all sides of the boundary of the garden. What is the length of the garden?

• A. 20 m
• B. 22 m
• C. 24 m
• D. 26 m
• E. 28 m

Hint:

Number of gaps = number of trees − 1.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Distance between trees = 2 m Number of gaps in rows = \(12 - 1 = 11\) \[ 11 \times 2 = 22 \] Add boundary spaces: \[ 22 + 2 = 24 \text{ m} \]
