  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the length and breadth of the rectangular garden be 14x and 11x respectively.
Perimeter of a rectangle =2(length+breadth)

2(14x+11x)=800
2(25x)=800⟹50x=800⟹x=16
So, the dimensions are:

Length=14×16=224 m
Breadth=11×16=176 m
Area of the rectangle =Length×Breadth=224×176 m

Given that the area of the circular field equals the area of the rectangle:
