whereBetween with array?

I have a problem with whereBetween when i use like this:

  if($key == "area"){
                $query->whereBetween('area',$option);

            }

In $option i get like this:

array:2 [▼
  0 => "0"
  1 => "300000"
]

When i use like this it works:

 if($key == "area"){
                    $query->whereBetween('area',["0","300000"]);

                }

Any suggesion why is this not working with $option?
