The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the assertion and the reason provided regarding the rectangle's dimensions. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that the length of a rectangle with an area of \(135 \, \text{cm}^2\) and a breadth of \(9 \, \text{cm}\) is \(15 \, \text{cm}\). ### Step 2: Use the Area Formula The area \(A\) of a rectangle is given by the formula: \[ A = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \] We can rearrange this to find the length: \[ \text{Length} = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Breadth}} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the Values Now, we substitute the given values into the formula: \[ \text{Length} = \frac{135 \, \text{cm}^2}{9 \, \text{cm}} \] ### Step 4: Perform the Calculation Now, we perform the division: \[ \text{Length} = \frac{135}{9} = 15 \, \text{cm} \] ### Step 5: Verify the Assertion Since we calculated the length to be \(15 \, \text{cm}\), the assertion is correct. ### Step 6: Evaluate the Reason The reason states that the length of the rectangle is equal to the area multiplied by the breadth. This is incorrect because the correct relationship is that the length is equal to the area divided by the breadth. ### Conclusion - The assertion is **true**: The length is \(15 \, \text{cm}\). - The reason is **false**: The relationship stated is incorrect. ### Final Answer The correct option is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ---
