The area of a square ground is 313600 square meters.. How long will it take for a woman to cross the field diagonally (diagonally) at the rate of \(4\sqrt 2\) m/s? A. 3 minutes B. 2 minutes 20 seconds C. 2 minutes 40 seconds D. 3 minutes 10 seconds Correct Answer B
Given:
The area of a square plot is 3,13,600 m2
Speed is 4√2 m/s
Formula used:
Area of square = (side)2
Speed = Distance/Time
Calculations:
According to the question, we have
Area of square = (side)2
⇒ 3,13,600 = (side)2
⇒ Side = √3,13,600
⇒ Side = 560 m

The diagonal of the square is
Diagonal = Side × √2
⇒ Diagonal = 560√2 m
Now, Time taken by woman to cross-field diagonally
Time = Distance/Speed
⇒ Time = (560√2)/(4√2)
⇒ Time = 140 seconds
⇒ Time (in minutes) = 2 minutes 20 seconds
∴ The time taken by woman to cross the field diagonally is 2 minutes 20 seconds.
