Question

The ratio of length to breadth of a rectangle is 5:4, respectively. Perimeter of rectangle is 108 cm. If each side of a square is 25% more than the breadth of rectangle, then find the difference between perimeters of the square and the rectangle.

A 12 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 16 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 20 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 22 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E 18 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be 5x cm and 4x cm, respectively According to the question, 2 × (5x + 4x) = 108 Or, x = 54/9 = 6 Therefore, each side of the square = 1.25 × 4x = 30 cm Perimeter of the square = 4 × 30 = 120 cm Required difference = 120 – 108 = 12 cm
