Q:

The ratio between the perimeter and the breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 1. If the area of the rectangle is 216 sq. cm, what is the length of the rectangle?

A) 16	B) 18
C) 20	D) 22

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 18

Explanation:

$\frac{2 (l + b)}{b} = \frac{5}{1}$ => 2l + 2b = 5b => 3b = 2l

b=(2/3)l

Then, Area = 216 cm²

=> l x b = 216 => l x (2/3)l =216

l = 18 cm.
