A rectangular piece of land has a length that exceeds its breadth by 20 metres. If fencing this land costs Rs. 5300 at a rate of Rs. 26.50 per metre, what is the length of the land in metres?

Choose the correct answer

Explanation

Given the fencing cost and rate, the perimeter can be calculated as 5300 ÷ 26.50 = 200 metres. Let the breadth be x metres, then length = x + 20. The perimeter formula is 2(length + breadth) = 200, so 2(x + x + 20) = 200, which simplifies to 4x + 40 = 200. Solving for x gives x = 40 metres, so length = 60 metres. Since 60 is not among the given options, the correct choice is 'None of the above'.
