Let a be the length and b be the breadth of the garden
 
Given area = 8000 sq mtr
=> a*b=8000
 
Also, given a:b = 5:4
=> 4a = 5b
 
From the above
a=100 b=80
 
 
 
Now, the path occupies 3200 sq mtrs
Let widtth of the path be c
 
=> (2a + 2b)*c - 4c*c = 3200
 
=>360C - 4c*c = 3200
 
so, c = 10
 
 
(I think there might be an easier way of solving)

we have clarify the above problem following way ::

as xy = 3200 therefore we assume,

40*80 = 3200 ( x = 40,y = 80)

again, 5x*4y = 8000

20xy = 8000

xy = 400

as x =40 m .

therefore, 40y = 400

                    y = 10m
