    C 60 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 40 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 72 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Perimeter of square = 40 × 4 = 160 cm Perimeter of rectangle = 1.40 × 160 = 224 cm Let, breadth of rectangle = ‘x’ cm So, length of rectangle = ‘x + 8’ cm So, 2(x + x + 8) = 224 Or, 2x + 8 = 112 Or, 2x = 104 Or, x = 52 Length of rectangle = 52 + 8 = 60 cm
