    A circular wire of diameter 42 cm is bent in the form of a rectangle whose sides are in the ratio 6 : 5. The area of the rectangle is \[\left( \text{Use}\,\,\pi =\frac{22}{7} \right)\]

    A)  \[540\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]

    B)  \[1080\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[2160\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]

    D)  \[4320\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Length of wire \[=\frac{22}{7}\times 42=132\,\,\text{cm}\] Let the length of rectangle \[=6x\,\,\text{cm}\]and breadth \[=5x\,\,\text{cm}\] \[\therefore \]      \[2\,\,(6x+5x)=132\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[22x=132\Rightarrow x=\frac{132}{22}=6\] \[\therefore \]      Length of rectangle = 36 cm and breadth = 30 cm \[\therefore \]      Area of rectangle \[=36\times 30=1080\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]
