A rectangular plot is half as long again as it broad. The area of the lawn is 2/3 hectares. The length of the plot is?

• A. 33 meters
• B. (100/ ? 3 ) meters
• C. 66.66 meters
• D. 100 meters

Answer: (D)

Let breadth = b meters. then, length = 3b/2 meters ? b x 3b/2 = 2/3 X 10000? b2 = (4 x 10000)/9? b = ( 2 X 100)/3 m ? Length = (3/2) x (2/3) x 100 m= 100 m
