    A circular wire of diameter 42 cm is folded in the shape of a rectangle whose sides are in the ratio 6: 5. Find the area enclosed by the rectangle. \[(Take\,\,\pi =\frac{22}{7})\]

    A) \[540\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]                       

    B) \[1080\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]

    C) \[2160\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]                   

    D) \[4320\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Radius of circular wire \[=\frac{42}{2}=21\,cm\] Circumference of wire \[=2\pi r\]             \[=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 21=132\,cm\] Let the length and breadth of rectangle be 6x and 5x en respectively. \[\therefore \] Perimeter of rectangle \[=2(6x\text{+}5x)=22x\] According to the question,             \[22x=132\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{132}{22}=6\] \[\therefore \] Length of rectangle \[=6x=6\times 6=36\,cm\] Breadth of rectangle             \[=5x=5\times 6=30\,cm\] \[\therefore \]      Area \[=36\times 30=1080\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
