Solution:
Given: Length of the playground = 125 m
Width of the playground = 75m
Total area of the rectangular playground = Length × Breadth
= 125 × 75
= 9375 m²
It is given that 5m wide walking strip is made in the middle of the playground along the shorter side that is along the width of the playground.
So, width of the walking strip = 5m
Length of the walking strip = 75m
Area of the rectangular walking strip = Length × Breadth
= 75 × 5
= 375 m²
Area of the playground without walking strip
= Area of the total playground - Area of the walking strip
= 9375 - 375
= 9000 m²
So, the correct option is 2). 9000 sq.m
