    A took 15 s to cross a rectangular field diagonally walking at the rate of 52 m/min and B took the same time to cross the same field along its side walking at the rate of 68 m/min. The area of the field is

    A)  \[30\,\,{{m}^{2}}\]                

    B)  \[40\,\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[40\,\,{{m}^{2}}\]                

    D)  \[60\,\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Distance covered by A to cross a field diagonally \[=52\times \frac{15}{60}=13\,m\] And distance covered by B to cross a field along its side \[=68\times \frac{15}{60}=17\,m\] Let l and b be the length and breadth of field. \[\therefore \]      \[{{l}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=169\]                                    ? (i) and       \[l+b=17\]                                 ?(ii) \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{(l+b)}^{2}}=289\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{l}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+2lb=289\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[169+2lb=289\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[lb=60\] \[\therefore \]      Area of field \[=60\,{{m}^{2}}\]
