Q66 / 180 · KCET 2024 · Mathematics
The length of a rectangle is five times the breadth. If the minimum perimeter of the rectangle is 180 cm , then
- ABreadth $\leq 15 \mathrm{~cm}$
- Correct answerBBreadth $\geq 15 \mathrm{~cm}$
- CLength $\leq 15 \mathrm{~cm}$
- DLength $=15 \mathrm{~cm}$
Solution
Since, perimeter $\geq 180$
$\Rightarrow 2$ (length + breadth) $\geq 180$
$\Rightarrow 5$ breadth + breadth $\geq 90$
$[\because$ length $=5$ breadth $]$
$\Rightarrow 6$ breadth $\geq 90$
Hence, breadth $\geq 15$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
