Question

The ratio of two sides of a parallelogram is as 3:5, and its perimeter is 48 m, then the sides of the parallelogram are

• A. 32m and 34m
• B. 9m and 15m
• C. 15m and 35m
• D. 9m and 45m

Answer 1

The correct option is B

9m and 15m

Let the sides of parallelogram be $3xand5x$
$\text{Perimeter}=2(3x+5x)\because \text{Given perimeter is}48\Rightarrow 2\left(8x\right)=48\Rightarrow 16x=48\Rightarrow x=3\therefore 3x=9\text{m}\text{and}5x=15\text{m}$
