Madhya Pradesh Police Exam Model Paper 4

Given:
The length and breadth of a rectangle are in the ratio 5 : 3.
the length is 8 m more than the breadth.
Formula used:
area of rectangle = length × breadth
Calculation:
The ratio of length and breadth of rectangle = 5 : 3
⇒ length of rectangle = 5x, breadth of rectangle = 3x
⇒5x−3x=8
⇒2x=8
∴x=4
length of rectangle =5x=5×4=20m
breadth of rectangle =3x=3×4=12m
area of rectangle = length × breadth
⇒20×12=240m2
