Correct Answer : D.

From the question, 2b+l = 30
=> l = 30-2b

A r e a = 100 m^{2} \Rightarrow l \times b = 100 \Rightarrow b (30 - 2 b) = 100 b^{2} - 15 b + 50 = 0 \Rightarrow (b - 10) (b - 5) = 0

b = 10 or b = 5
when b = 10 then l = 10
when b = 5 then l = 20
Since the garden is rectangular so we will take value of breadth 5.
So its dimensions are 20 m * 5 m
