Solution :
Given:
The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2.
Let length be $3x$, breadth be $2x$.
A man cycling along the boundary of the park at a speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes.
1 hour = 60 minutes
So, circumference of the park = $\frac{12}{60}×8$ = $1.6$ km = 1600 metres
Therefore, $2×(3x+2x)=1600$
⇒ $10x = 1600$
$\therefore x = 160$
So, Length = 3 × 160 = 320 metres
Breadth = 2 × 160 = 480 metres
Area of the park = 320 × 480 = 1,53,600 sq. metres
Hence, the correct answer is 1,53,600 sq. metres.
