L = x
B = x-20
Perimeter = 2*(L+B) = 120
2*(x+x-20) = 120
2x - 20 = 60
i.e. x = 40
i.e .Area = L*B = 40*20 = 800
Answer: Option A

Breadth is 20 feet less than length. L= B+20
Perimeter= 2(Length+Breadth)
=> 2(B+20+B) = 120
=> 2B+20 = 60
=> 2B = 40 => B = 20 & L=20+B
=> L=40
=> AREA = L*B => 40*20
=> Area = 800
Answer is A
