Answer
Given,
Area of rectangle = 3 × Area of square ……..(1)
Length of rectangle = 40 cm
Let side of square be x cm.
Breadth of rectangle = × side of a square
= 1.5 × x = 1.5x
Area of square = side2 = x2 cm.
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
= 40 × 1.5x
= 60x.
Substituting values in equation (1), we get :
⇒ 60x = 3 × x2
⇒ 60 = 3x
⇒ x = = 20 cm.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
