    A farmer divided his field which is in the shape of a rhombus of side 100 m between his two sons equally. If the line of division is 160 m, what area of the field did each son get?

    A)  4840 sqm        

    B) \[~1400\,{{m}^{2}}\] 

    C) \[4800\,{{m}^{2}}\]   

    D)   \[~3600\text{ }{{m}^{2}}\]    

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The line of division is along the So, each son gets an equal area. Area of \[\Delta \Alpha \Beta C\] \[=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\] Where \[s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}\] Given \[a=10\,m,b=100\,m\]and \[c=160\,m.\] \[\therefore \]Area of \[\Delta \Alpha \Beta C\] \[=\sqrt{180(80)(80)(20)}=4800\,{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]Hence each son gets an area of \[4800{{m}^{2}}.\]
