Solution : Given: The four sides of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 and its perimeter is 280 metres. Let the four sides of the quadrilateral be $2x,3x,4x,$ and $5x$ metres. Here, the perimeter is 280 metres. According to the question, $(2x+3x+4x+5x) = 280$ $⇒ 14x = 280$ $ ⇒ x=20$ Therefore, the length of the longest side is $=(5×20)=100$ metres Hence, the correct answer is 100 metres.
