उत्तर

Let breadth of rectangular field = x m

Then, length of rectangular field = 2x m

∵ Distance covered in one round = Perimeter

∴ Distance covered in four rounds = 4 × Perimeter

⇒ 4 × 2(l + b) = 6 km  ...[∵ Perimeter = 2(length + breadth)]

⇒ 8 × (l + b) = 6000 m   ...[∵ 1 km = 1000 m]

⇒ 8(2x + x) = 6000 m

⇒ 24x = 6000 m

⇒ `(24x)/24 = 6000/24`  ...[Dividing both sides by 24]

⇒ x = 250 m

∴ Length of the field = 2x = 2 × 250 = 500 m
