Once you attempt the question then PrepInsta explanation will be displayed.
Area of the park = (60 x 40) m2 = 2400 m2.
Area of the lawn = 2109 m2.
Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) m2 = 291 m2.
Let the width of the road be x metres. Then,
60x + 40x - x2 = 291
=>x2 - 100x + 291 = 0
=>(x - 97)(x - 3) = 0
As, the width of the road cannot exceed the length of rectangular park,
So, x = 3.
