Jack went to the garden for a picnic. He saw a board in the garden with the area of the square garden mentioned as 625 sq.m. He is curious to know what will be the area of a path of width 2.5 m around it if the path is outside the garden?

(A)

169 sq. m

(B)

200 sq. m

(C)

275 sq. m

(D)

400 sq. m


Answer: (C)

Explanation:

area of the square garden=625m²
therefore side²=625m²
side=√625

side=25m
hence, the length of the side of the square garden is 25m.
therefore the length of the path=25+2.5+2.5
=25+5
=30m
total area along with the road=30×30
=900m²
hence, area of the path=900-625
=275 sq m
