Length of the garden = (2x3 + 5x2 – 7) m
Perimeter of the garden = 2 × (length + breadth)
∴ 4x3 - 2x2 + 4 = 2(2x3 + 5x2 – 7 + breadth)
⇒ 2x3 – x2 + 2 = (2x3 + 5x2 – 7) + breadth
So, breadth of the rectangle
= 2x3 – x2 + 2 – 2x3 – 5x2 + 7 = (–6x2 + 9) m

Given information:
- Length of the garden = 2x^3 + 5x^2 - 7 m
- Perimeter of the garden = 4x^3 - 2x^2 + 4 m
Calculating the perimeter of the garden:
- Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
- Given perimeter = 4x^3 - 2x^2 + 4
- Using the formula, we get: 4x^3 - 2x^2 + 4 = 2(2x^3 + 5x^2 - 7)
- Solving the equation, we get: 4x^3 - 2x^2 + 4 = 4x^3 + 10x^2 - 14
- Simplifying further, we get: -2x^2 + 4 = 10x^2 - 14
- Rearranging the terms, we get: 12x^2 = 18
- Dividing by 12 on both sides, we get: x^2 = 1.5
- Taking the square root, we get: x = ±√1.5
Finding the breadth of the garden:
- Substituting x = √1.5 into the length equation, we get: 2(√1.5)^3 + 5(√1.5)^2 - 7
- Simplifying, we get: 2(√3√1.5) + 5(1.5) - 7
- Further simplifying, we get: 2√4.5 + 7.5 - 7
- Simplifying more, we get: 4√1.5 + 0.5
- Finally, we get: 4√1.5 + 0.5 = 4(√1.5) + 0.5 = 6 - 0.5 = 5.5
Therefore, the breadth of the garden is 5.5m, which corresponds to option B.
