    C 214 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 224 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be '2x' cm and '7x' cm, respectively. ATQ; 2 × (2x + 7x) = 44 + 7x Or, 18x = 44 + 7x Or, 11x = 44 So, x = 4 So, required area = 2x × 7x = 14 × 42 = 224 cm2
