    The length of a rectangle is twice its breadth. If its area is 72 sq. m, find the breadth of the rectangle.

    A) 12 m    

    B) 24 m

    C) 6 m                         

    D) 72 m

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the breadth of the rectangle be b units. The length is twice its breadth. \[\Rightarrow \]Its length = 2b units \[\therefore \] Area \[\text{=b }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 2b sq}\]units \[\Rightarrow \text{2}\times \text{b}\times \text{b=72}\] \[\text{b }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ b=}\frac{\text{72}}{\text{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \text{b }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ b=36=6 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 6}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\text{b=6m}\]
