The correct Answer is:
To determine the area of a rectangle, we need to find the product of its length and breadth. Let's analyze the given statements one by one to see if they provide sufficient information to calculate the area. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A:** The length and breadth of the rectangle are in the ratio of 4:3. - This statement gives us a ratio, but we do not have the actual lengths of the length and breadth. - We can express the length as \(4x\) and the breadth as \(3x\) for some value of \(x\). - However, we cannot calculate the area without knowing the actual value of \(x\). **Conclusion for A:** Insufficient alone. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B **Statement B:** The sum of the lengths of the diagonals of the rectangle is 50 m. - The diagonals of a rectangle are equal. Therefore, if the sum of the lengths of the diagonals is 50 m, each diagonal is \(25\) m. - The length of the diagonal \(d\) can be expressed using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ d = \sqrt{l^2 + b^2} \] where \(l\) is the length and \(b\) is the breadth. - Knowing \(d = 25\), we have: \[ \sqrt{l^2 + b^2} = 25 \implies l^2 + b^2 = 625 \] - However, without knowing either \(l\) or \(b\) specifically, we cannot determine the area. **Conclusion for B:** Insufficient alone. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement C **Statement C:** The area of a square is \(1225 \, m^2\), whose perimeter is twice the perimeter of the rectangle. - The area of the square gives us the side length: \[ \text{Side} = \sqrt{1225} = 35 \, m \] - The perimeter of the square is: \[ \text{Perimeter} = 4 \times 35 = 140 \, m \] - Since the perimeter of the rectangle is half of this, we have: \[ \text{Perimeter of rectangle} = \frac{140}{2} = 70 \, m \] - The perimeter of a rectangle is given by \(2(l + b) = 70\), so: \[ l + b = 35 \] ### Step 4: Combine Statements A and C From Statement A, we have the ratio \(l:b = 4:3\). Let: - \(l = 4x\) - \(b = 3x\) Using the equation from Statement C: \[ 4x + 3x = 35 \implies 7x = 35 \implies x = 5 \] Now substituting \(x\) back: - \(l = 4x = 20 \, m\) - \(b = 3x = 15 \, m\) ### Step 5: Calculate the Area Now we can calculate the area of the rectangle: \[ \text{Area} = l \times b = 20 \times 15 = 300 \, m^2 \] ### Conclusion To find the area of the rectangle, we used: - Statement A (for the ratio of length and breadth) - Statement C (for the perimeter) Thus, the area of the rectangle is \(300 \, m^2\), and we conclude that **Statements A and C together are sufficient** to answer the question.
