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

  • A
    Breadth $\leq 15 \mathrm{~cm}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    Breadth $\geq 15 \mathrm{~cm}$
  • C
    Length $\leq 15 \mathrm{~cm}$
  • D
    Length $=15 \mathrm{~cm}$

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'.
