    B 16 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 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) = 162 Or, x = 81/9 = 9 Therefore, each side of the square = 1.25 × 4x = 45 cm Perimeter of the square = 4 × 45 = 180 cm Required difference = 180 – 162 = 18 cm
