Question

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 52 m. If the length of the field is 2 m more than thrice the breadth, then what is the breadth of the field?

• A. 6.5m
• B. 6.25m
• C. 13m
• D. 6m

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let the breadth of the field be m and length =\((3x+2)\)m
Perimeter of rectangular field =\(2[(x)+(3x+2)]=52\)
\(4x+2=26\)
\(4x=26−2=24\)
\(x=\frac{24}{4}=6\) m
The correct answer is (D) : 6m
