Question

Mark the correct alternative in the following question:

The length of a rectangle is y times its breadth x. The area of the rectangle is

(a) xy (b) xy² (c) x²y (d) None of these

Answer 1

We have,
Breadth of the rectangle = x and
Length of the rectangle = y $\times$ x = xy

Now,
The area of the rectangle = Length $\times$ Breadth
= xy $\times$ x
= x²y

Hence, the correct alternative is option (c).
