Solution

The correct option is B

6


We can observe, we have 4 rows and 9 columns in the given rectangle.

Total number of dots in given figure =4×9=36

Let 'a' be the sides of the square which we get after rearranging the dots of the rectangle.

Total number of dots in that square =a2

Since total number of dots is 36

a2=36

a=36

a=22×32

a=2×3

a=6

So, the side of the square will be equal to 6.
