Q. The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 4 : 5. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 90 cm, then its sides are
(A) 28, 35
(B) 20, 24
(C) 20, 25
(D) None of these
Option C
solution is also there
let the sides be x
now the sides will be 4x,5x
perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)
=2(4x + 5x)
=2(9x)
=18x
but given,
18x = 90
x = 90/18
x = 5
now sides,
4x = 4(5) = 20
5x = 5(5) = 25
