    A 125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 145 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 105 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be '3x' cm and '5x' cm, respectively. ATQ; 2 × (3x + 5x) = 33 + 5x Or, 16x = 33 + 5x Or, 11x = 33 So, x = 3 So, required area = 3x × 5x = 15 × 32 = 135 cm2
