Answer:
Let the length and breadth of the rectangular garden be 5x metres and 3x metres.
Given 2(5x + 3x) = 160
=> 16x = 160
=> x = 10
Therefore length of garden
= 50 m and
Breadth of the garden
= 30 m
Area of 5 m road around its outside
= (50 + 10) × (30 + 10) – 50 × 30
= 60 × 40 – 50 × 30
= (2400 – 1500)m^2
= 900 m^2.

Answer:
5x+3x=160
8x=160
x=20
length = 5x = 5*20=100m
breadth = 2x=2*20=20m
