Question

The area of a rectangle is 2880 sq.cm and the ratio of its length and breadth is 5 : 4. What is the ratio of the breadth to the perimeter of the rectangle?

• A. 3 : 8
• B. 1 : 12
• C. 2 : 9
• D. 5 : 18
• E. 1 : 9

Answer 1

The correct option is C

2 : 9

Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be `l' and `b' respectively -

l:b = 5:4

lb = 2880

Solving we get b = 48, l = 60

So, required ratio = 48 : 2(60+48) = 2 : 9
