    The sum of the length and breadth of a rectangle is 6 cm. A square is constructed such that one of its sides is equal to a diagonal of the rectangle. If the ratio of areas of the square and rectangle is 5 : 2, the area of the square in \[c{{m}^{2}}\]is [SSC CGL Tier II, 2017]

    A) \[20\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]

    B) \[10\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{5}\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]

    D) \[10\sqrt{2\,}c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[l+b=6\,\,cm\] Then, Let, \[l=4\,\,cm\]and\[b=2\,cm\] \[\therefore \]Area of rectangle \[=l+b=4\times 2=8\,c{{m}^{2}}\]      …(i) According to the question, \[\frac{\text{Area}\,\text{of}\,\text{Sqare}}{\text{Area}\,\text{of}\,\text{Ractangle}}\text{=}\frac{\text{5}}{\text{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]Area of Square \[\text{=}\frac{5}{2}\times \]Area of Rectangle \[=\frac{5}{2}\times 8\] [From Eq. (i)] \[=5\times 4=20\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
