5. The length of a rectangular plot is 5 1/3, times that of its breadth. If the area of the plot is 270 square
meters, then what is its length?

A. 120 m

B. 130 m

C. 125 m

D. None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution:

Let the breadth be x metres. Then, length = 16x/3 metres

x × 16x/3 = 270

x2 = 8100/16

x = 90/4

Length = (16/3) × (90/4) = 120 m
