    If the length and breadth of a rectangle are doubled then its perimeter is

    A) Tripled                        

    B) doubled

    C) Made half                    

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the initial length and breadth be \[\ell \]and b, respectively. So, the initial perimeter\[=2(\ell +b)\] The final perimeter\[=2(2\ell +2b)=4(\ell +b)\] Now, \[\frac{\text{Final}\,\text{perimeter}}{\text{Initial}\,\text{perimeter}}=\frac{4(\ell +b)}{2(\ell +b)}=2.\]
