Hi,
Area of garden & path = 225
Side = \(\sqrt{225}\) = 15 ft
As per the below diagram,
square.jpg [ 11.57 KiB | Viewed 16338 times ]
Side of garden = 11 ft
When sides of garden are increased by 5 ft,
new dimension = 11+5 = 16 ft
Area = \(16^2\) = 256
Answer (D)
Regards

Thanks.
I missed to take 2 feet on both sides. so took the side of the garden as 15-2 =13.
so 13 +5 after increasing and the area of garden as 18^2 = 324.
Have to be careful
. Thanks for the solution.
