      Question

      The ratio of length to breadth of a rectangle is 5:4,

      respectively. Perimeter of rectangle is 234 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 26 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 28 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 32 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 34 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 Γ— (5x + 4x) = 234 Or, x = 117/9 = 13 Therefore, each side of the square = 1.25 Γ— 4x = 65 cm Perimeter of the square = 4 Γ— 65 = 260 cm Required difference = 260 – 234 = 26 cm
