  • 150 metre


B.

100 metre

Perimeter of rectangular land equals space fraction numerator 6000 over denominator 7.5 end fraction space equals 800 space metre
Length = 5x metre
Breadth = 3x metre
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b)
∴  2(5x + 3x) = 800
 rightwards double arrow space space 16 straight x space equals space 800 space rightwards double arrow space space straight x space equals space 800 over 16 space equals space 50
∴  Required difference
 = 5x - 3x = 2x metre
 = (2 x 50) metre = 100 metre
