    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) = 198 Or, x = 99/9 = 11 Therefore, each side of the square = 1.25 × 4x = 55 cm Perimeter of the square = 4 × 55 = 220 cm Required difference = 220 – 198 = 22 cm
