The length of a rectangle is five times the breadth. If the minimum perimeter of the rectangle is 180 cm , then

  1. A Breadth \(\leq 15 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  2. B Breadth \(\geq 15 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C Length \(\leq 15 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D Length \(=15 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Breadth \(\geq 15 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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 \(\geq 15\)
