The length of a rectangle is 20% more than its breadth. What will be the ratio of the area of this rectangle to the area of a square whose side is equal to the breadth of the rectangle? |
A) 5 : 6
B) 6 : 5
C) 2 : 1
D) Data inadequate
E) None of these
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Let the breadth of the rectangle be x. |
According to the question, Length =1.20x |
Area of rectangle \[=1.20\,\,x\times x=1.20\text{ }{{x}^{2}}\] |
Area of square \[=x\times x={{x}^{2}}\] |
Required ratio \[=\,\,\frac{1.20{{x}^{2}}}{{{x}^{2}}}=\frac{12}{10}=\frac{6}{5}=6:5\] |
