    A wire is 72 cm long. It is bent to form a rectangle. The ratio of its length to its breadth is\[7:5\]. Find the area of the rectangle.

    A)  \[250\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]              

    B)  \[300\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]  

    C)         \[315\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]        

    D)         \[285\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]              

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the length and breadth of rectangle be 7x and 5x respectively. Perimeter of rectangle = length of wire \[\therefore \] \[2(7x+5x)=72\Rightarrow 24x=72\Rightarrow x=3\] \[\therefore \]  Length of rectangle \[=7\times 3=21\text{ }cm\] Breadth of rectangle \[=5\times 3=15\text{ }cm\] Area of rectangle \[=21\times 15=315\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]
