Answer:

Correct Answer: E

Solution:

  • Area of a square $ =a^{2}=1024 $

$ \therefore $ $ a=\sqrt{1024}=32,cm $ Breadth of the rectangle = 12 cm less than the side of the square $ =32-12=20,cm $ Length of the rectangle = Twice the side of the square $ =2\times 32=64,cm $ Ratio of length and breadth $ =,64,:,20,=,64cm $
