Question

    A rectangular park with length and breadth of 16m and 20m, is surrounded by a path of 6m wide. Find the area of the path.

    A 320m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 576m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 464m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 366m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Area of the inner rectangle = 16m × 20m = 320 m 2 Width of outer road = 6 m So length of outer rectangle = 16 + 12 = 28 m & breadth of outer rectangle = 20 + 12 = 32 m Area of Path = Area of outer rectangle – Area of inner rectangle = 28 × 32 – 16 × 20 = 896 – 320 = 576 m 2
