A man walking at the speed of 4 kmph crosses a square field diagonally in 3 meters.The area of the field is

A) 10000 B) 20000
C) 30000 D) 40000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20000

speed of the man = 4 x (5/18) m/sec = 10/9 m/sec

time taken = 3 x 60 sec = 180 sec

length of diagonal = speed x  time = (10/9) x 180 = 200m

Area of the field = (1/2) x (dioagonal)²

= (1/2) x 200 x 200 sq.m = 20000sq.m

A) 24.5 B) 25.5
C) 26.5 D) 27.5
