    A 652 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 622 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 612 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 672 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be 7x cm and 6x cm, respectively. According to the question, 7x + 6x = 52 Or, x = 52/13 = 4 Therefore, area of the rectangle = 7x × 6x = 42x2 = 672 cm2
