Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.

Correct answer to question 227 (Arithmetic Reasoning): 60 feet

Fencing runs around the perimeter, not the area. One long side plus one short side is 30 feet, and doubling that for both pairs of sides gives 60 feet. The 216 option is the area, a common trap.
