    A 55 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 75 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 65 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 90 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Side of square = √625 = 25 metres

    Area of rectangle = 500 m²

    Breadth × 25 = 500

    Or, Breadth of the rectangle = 20 metres

    Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (25 + 20) = 90 metres
