Options:

30 and 20

36 and 24

46 and 32

40 and 32

Correct Answer:

36 and 24

Explanation:

Ratio of sides of rectangle = 3 : 2

Let Side 1 = 3x  and Side 2 = 2x

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

3x × 2x = 864

6 x² = 864

x² = 144

x = 12 m 

So sides of rectangle are 3×12 and 2×12 . 

Ans :- 36 m and 24 m
