1 2 3 4

Answer Posted / chinmaya panda

let the width of rectangle be x
so the length & breath is increased by 2x(draw on a paper
then only u'll understand)
so new total area along with walkway is (60+2x)*(20+2x)
so (60+2x)*(20+2x)-60*20=516
=>(60+2x)*(20+2x)=1716
=>(30+x)*(10+x)=429=33*13
=>x=3
which is da width of gateway
