Question

In a garden, there are 10 rows and 12

coloumns of mango trees. The distance

between two trees is 2 meters and a distance

of one meter is left from all sides of the

boundary of the garden. The length of the

garden is _______

Answer 1

Assume that the 10 rows form the width of the garden; the 12 trees per row form the length of the garden.

With a boundary on all sides, the length of a row is:

boudary + (12 trees with 11 spaces) + boundary

1 + (11*2) + 1 = 24 meters

That is:

B + T + s + T + s + T + s + T + s + T + s + T + s +T + s + T + s + T + s + T + s + T + s + T + B

Note: This assumes that the distance "between two trees" is 2 meters" is measured from the center of the trees, making their width 0.
