Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 50

Given:

Perimeter of square = 20 cm

Width of rectangle = Side of square 

Length of rectangle = 2 × Width of rectangle 

Formula used:

Perimeter of square = 4 × Side of square

Area of rectangle = Length × Width 

Calculations:
Let the width of rectangle be x

Side of square = x

Perimeter of square = 4x

⇒ 4x = 20

⇒ x = 5 cm

Length of rectangle = 2 × Width of rectangle 

Length of rectangle = 2 × 5

⇒ 10 cm

Area of rectangle = 5 × 10

⇒ 50 cm2

∴ The area of the rectangle is 50 cm2
