Question

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 52 m. If the length of the field is 2 m more than thrice the breadth, then what is the breadth of the field?

• A. 6.5m
• B. 6.25m
• C. 13m
• D. 6m

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

6m

Answer 2

Let the breadth of the field be m and length =$(3x+2)$m
Perimeter of rectangular field =$2[(x)+(3x+2)]=52$
$4x+2=26$
$4x=26−2=24$
$x=\frac{24}{4}=6$ m
The correct answer is (D) : 6m
