speed = 12 km/h = 12 × 5 18 = 10 3 m / s distance covered = 20 × 2 × 22 7 × 50 = 44000 7 m time taken = distance /speed = 44000 7 × 3 10 s e c = 4400 × 3 7 × 1 60 m i n = 220 7 m i n
Area of the park = (60 x 40) m2 = 2400 m2. Area of the lawn = 2109 m2. ∴ Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) m2 = 291 m2. Let the width of the road be x metres. Then, 60x + 40x - x2 = 291 ⟹ x2 - 100x + 291 = 0 ⟹ (x - 97)(x - 3) = 0 ⟹ x = 3
