Q:

A rectangular park 60 m long and 40 m wide has two concrete crossroads running in the middle of the park and rest of the park has been used as a lawn. If the area of the lawn is 2109 sq. m, then what is the width of the road?

A) 1	B) 2
C) 3	D) 4

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3

Explanation:

Area of the park = (60 x 40) = 2400 $m^{2}$

Area of the lawn = 2109 $m^{2}$

Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) = 291 $m^{2}$

Let the width of the road be x metres. Then,

$60 x + 40 x - X^{2} = 291$

$x^{2} - 100 x + 291 = 0$

(x - 97)(x - 3) = 0
x = 3.

A) 580	B) 620
C) 720	D) 780
