Arjun: Area is the length of the rope required to surround the figure.

Shubh: The quantity of cloth required to cover the figure exactly, is called its area.

Pick the correct option.

• A. Arjun and Shubh both mean the same thing
• B. Arjun is right and Shubh is wrong
• C. Arjun is wrong and Shubh is right
• D. Both of them are wrong

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Arjun is wrong and Shubh is right

Arjun mentions that "The length of the rope required to surround the figure exactly, no more no less, is called its area."
The quantity(length of the rope) Arjun is referring to is perimeter and not the area of the figure.

Shubh mentions that "The amount of cloth required to cover the figure exactly, no more no less, is called its area.".
Shubh refers to the area of the two-dimensional figure.
