A rectangular plot is twice as long as it is broad. The area of the plot is 32/9 hectares. The length of the plot in meters is

OPtion

1) 800/3
2) 400/3
3) 200/3
4) 700/3
5) 600/7
6) 800/7
7) 500/7
8) 1600/3
9) 1600/7
10) None of these

Solution

Let breadth = x
Then length = 2 x in metres
Then x * 2 x = 32/9*1000
So, x = 4/3*100 = 400/3
Therefore Length of plot = 2 * 400/3 = 800/3 m
