Correct Answer: The area of the path is 700 square meter.
Explanation:
The area of the garden is = 60 x 20 = 1,200 Sq. meter
Length without road = 60 – 5 x 2 = 50 meter and
Breadth without road = 20 – (2 x 5) = 10 meter
Without road, the area of the garden is = 50 x 10 = 500 Sq. meter
The area of the road is = 1,200 – 500 = 700 Sq. meter
