Option 1 : √2 × 160 m

Given:

Square plot area is 600 m2 more than the area of the rectangular plot

Rectangular plots length and breadth ratio is 5 : 2.

Each side of the square plot is 60% larger than the breadth of the rectangular plot.

Concept:

Diagonal of square = √2 × side

Area of rectangle = length × breadth

Area of square = side2

Calculation:

Let length and breadth 5x m., 2x m. respectively.

And the side of the square is 60% larger than the breadth of the rectangular plot, so

Side = 160% of (2x)

⇒ 3.2x m.

Area of rectangular plot + 600 m2 = Area of square plot

⇒ (5x) × (2x) + 600 = (3.2x)2

⇒ 10x2 + 600 = 10.24x2

⇒ x2 = 2500

⇒ x = 50

Side of square = 3.2 × 50

⇒ 160 m

Diagonal of square = √2 × 160 m.

∴ The diagonal of the square is √2 × 160 m.
