    The areas of a square and a rectangle are equal. The length of the rectangle is greater than the length of any side of the square by 5 cm and the breadth is less by 3 cm. Find the perimeter of the rectangle

    A)  17 cm             

    B)  26 cm

    C)  30 cm             

    D)  34 cm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the length of the side of the square be x cm. \[\therefore \]      \[{{x}^{2}}=(x+5)(x-3)\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+5x-3x-15\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2x=15\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\frac{15}{2}\,\,cm\] Now, length of the rectangle \[=x+5=\frac{15}{2}+5=\frac{25}{2}\,\,cm\] and breadth\[=\frac{15}{2}-3=\frac{15-6}{2}=\frac{9}{2}\,\,cm\] \[\therefore \]Required perimeter \[=2\left( \frac{25}{2}+\frac{9}{2} \right)=2\times \frac{34}{2}=34\,\,cm\]
