Q:
Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. What is the ratio of the length of a rectangle to the side of a square?
I. The area of the square is 576 sq cm and the area of the rectangle is 600 sq cm.
II. The breadth of the rectangle is half the side of the square.
Answer & Explanation
Answer:
Explanation: From statement I, Area of square = 576 sq cm
Side of square = 24 cm
Area of rectangle = l × b
l × b = 600 sq cm
From statement II, Suppose the breadth of the
rectangle is x. Then side of the square = 2x
Combining both the information, we have
x =12 cm
Now, l × 12 = 600
Required ratio =
Both the statements together are sufficient.
