Solution

The correct option is C 9
Let us consider the length of the rectangle be l and the breadth of the rectangle be b.

Area = length × breadth = l x b

Since,
The length and breadth of the rectangle are tripled.

Hence, the new area of the rectangle = 3l × 3b

New area = 9 × lb

Therefore, the new area will be 9 times the original area of the rectangle.
