The length of a rectangular field is twice its bredth.A man jogged around it 5 times and covered a distance of 3 km. What is the length of the field?
Dimensions of field, x and 2x
(THAT MEANS "BREADTH" IS x AND LENGTH IS 2x.)
(HE RAN THE PERIMETER, FIVE TIMES; AND HE RAN 3 KILOMETERS; AND THESE ARE EQUAL.)
 --------------(USING PERIMETER FORMULA)
 ,  -----------this is the breadth.
OR
133 meters, to the nearest whole meter <============
This is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, and WRONG, again!
Then again, we all have grown accustomed to answers from this person to VERY, VERY likely be just that!
