Question

The difference between the length and breadth of a rectangle is 23m. If its perimeter is 206 m, then its area is

• A. 1520 sq.m
• B. 2420 sq.m
• C. 2480 sq.m
• D. 2520 sq.m

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 2520 sq.m

Let the breadth be x m.

Length = (23 + x) m

=>2(x+23+x)=206

=>4x=206-46

=>x=\frac{160}{4}=40m

Length = 40 + 23 = 63 m

Required area $= 63 \times{ 40}$

$= 2520 m^2$
