    C 30 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 32 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be 5x cm and 4x cm, respectively According to the question, 2 × (5x + 4x) = 288 Or, x = 144/9 = 16 Therefore, each side of the square = 1.25 × 4x = 80 cm Perimeter of the square = 4 × 80 = 320 cm Required difference = 320 – 288 = 32 cm
