    Two rectangles ABCD and DBEF are as Shown in the figure. The area of rectangle DBEF (in square units) is ___.

    A)  10                              

    B)  12                  

    C)  14                  

    D)         15      

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In \[\Delta DAB,\,\,D{{B}^{2}}={{(3)}^{2}}+{{(4)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow DB\text{ }=\text{ }5\text{ }units\] Area of \[\Delta CBD=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\times BC\times CD=\frac{1}{2}\times DB\times CG\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 4=\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times CG\Rightarrow CG=\frac{12}{5}\] Also, \[CG=BE=\frac{12}{5}\] \[\therefore \]Area of rectangle \[DBEF=DB\times BE\] \[=5\times \frac{12}{5}=12\]
