Q11

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

A.
1520 m2
B.
2420 m2
C.
2480 m2
D.
2520 m2
Answer
E.
None of these

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103
Solving the two equations, we get:
l = 63 and b = 40
∴ Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) m2 = 2520 m2
