I think you forgot to add the picture along with the question. I am answering the question based on my research and knowledge.
Ratio of the sides of the pentagon = 10/4
= 5/2
Ratio of the area of the pentagons = (5/2)^2
= 25/4
Then
Area of the larger pentagon = (25/4) * 30
= 187.5 m^2
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option.
