Solution
The correct option is A 12 Length of each side of square A = 3 cm
Number of sides of square A = 4
Length of the boundary of square A = 4 × 3 cm = 12 cm
Now, a small square of side 1 cm is cut off from one corner of square A.
Therefore, the length of the boundary of B
= 2 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 2 cm + 3 cm + 3 cm
= 12 cm
