Question:

The difference between length and breadth of a rectangle is 15 m. If the perimeter of rectangle is 162 m, then the area of the rectangle (in m2) is.

Options:

3168

2524

1872

1584

Correct Answer:

1584

Explanation:

For a rectangle, length(L) - Breadth(B) = 15

perimeter = 2(L+B) = 162

2(L+B) - 2*(L-B) = 162-30 = 132

4B = 132

B = 33

L = 48

Area = L*B = 48*33

The correct answer is Option (4) → 1584
