    A 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length and the breadth of the field be ‘9x’ and ‘7x’, respectively. According to the question, 9x × 7x = 567 Or, 63x² = 567 Or, x² = 9 Or, x = 3 (Since, ‘x’ cannot be negative in this case) Required difference = 9x – 7x = 2x = 2 × 3 = 6
