A field is (25) metres long and (15) metres wide. A uniform path is outside around it. The total area is (589). What is the path width?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (3)
Let the path width be (x), then ((25+2x)(15+2x)=589). Substituting (x=3) gives (31\times21=651), so this option is not valid.
