Correct Answer: ans: 153600 sq.m.

Explanation:

Given that, length : breadth = 3 : 2

Let, the length of the rectangle be 3x and the breadth of the rectangle be 2x

The Area = 3x X 2x = 6x$^{2}$ and the perimeter = 2(3x + 2x) = 10x.

Now,In 60 minutes the man covers 12km = 12000 meters.

In 1 minutes the man covers 12km = $\frac{1200\times 8}{60}$ =1600 meters.

Now, we get, 10x = 1600

=> x= $\frac{1600}{10}$ =160

Area of the rectangle = 6$^{2}$

= (6 x 160 x 160) sq.m = 153600 sq.m.
