    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Each row contains 12 plants as there are 12 columns of mango trees.

    Between 12 trees in a row, there are 11gaps.
    1 gap = 2 m
    So, the length of total gap between 12 trees = 2 * 11 = 22 m

    As per the question, 1 meter on each side is left.
    So, the length of the garden = 22m + 1 + 1 = 24 meters.
