Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Step 1: Let the length and width of the rectangle be l and w. Perimeter = 2(l + w) = 160, so l + w = 80.

Step 2: Given l - w = 48.

Step 3: Solve the system: l + w = 80 and l - w = 48. Adding gives 2l = 128, so l = 64. Then w = 16.

Step 4: Area = l × w = 64 × 16 = 1024 m².

Step 5: Side of square = √1024 = 32 m.

हिन्दी उत्तर:

चरण 1: माना आयत की लंबाई और चौड़ाई क्रमशः l और w है। परिमाप = 2(l + w) = 160, इसलिए l + w = 80।

चरण 2: दिया गया है कि l - w = 48।

चरण 3: निकाय को हल करें: l + w = 80 और l - w = 48। जोड़ने पर 2l = 128, इसलिए l = 64। फिर w = 16।

चरण 4: क्षेत्रफल = l × w = 64 × 16 = 1024 m²।

चरण 5: वर्ग की भुजा = √1024 = 32 m।
