A plot's length is four times its width. A playground covering 1200 square meters takes up one-third of the entire plot's area. What is the length of the plot in meters?

Choose the correct answer

Explanation

The total area of the plot is three times the playground's area: 3 × 1200 = 3600 square meters. Let the width be x meters, so the length is 4x meters. The area is length × width = 4x × x = 4x² = 3600. This gives x² = 900, so x = 30 meters. Therefore, the length is 4 × 30 = 120 meters, which is not listed among the options, making 'None of the above' the correct choice.
