The length and breadth of a rectangular piece of land are in the ratio of 5:3. The owner spent Rs 3000 for surroundings it from are the sides at Rs 7.50 per meter. The difference between is length and breadth is_________?

A. 50m
B. 100m
C. 150m
D. 200m
Explanation:
Let length = 5x meters and breadth = 3x meters
Perimeter = 2 x (5x + 3x) m = 16x metres.
Perimeter = Total cost/Rate = (3000/7.50) m = 400 m.
16x = 400 or x = 25
(Length) – (breadth) = (5 x 25 – 3 x 25)m
= (2 x 25) = 50 m
