    If one-fourth of the area of a rectangular plot is \[2700\,{{m}^{2}}\] and the width of that plot is 90 m, what is the ratio between the width and length of the plot?                                                                  [LIC (ADO) 2015]

    A) 3 : 4                 

    B) 4 : 3

    C) 3 : 1                             

    D) 1 : 3

    E) 4 : 1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the area of the rectangular plot \[=x\,{{m}^{2}}\]
    Given, \[\frac{1}{4}th\]of the area \[=2700\,{{m}^{2}}\]
    Then,    \[\frac{x}{4}=2700\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[x=10800\,{{m}^{2}}\]
                \[\text{Width}=90\,m\]
    Length\[\times \]Width = 10800 \[\Rightarrow \] Length \[\times \] 90 = 10800
    \[\therefore \]      Length = 120 m
    Required ratio \[=\frac{\text{Width}}{\text{Length}}=\frac{90}{120}=\frac{3}{4}=3:4\]
