Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

From statement I, Area of square = 576 sq cm
Side of square = 24 cm
Area of rectangle = l × b
l × b = 600 sq cm
From statement II, Suppose the breadth of the
rectangle is x. Then side of the square = 2x
Combining both the information, we have
x =12 cm
Now, l × 12 = 600

l=60012=50 cm

Required ratio = 5024=2512=25:12

Both the statements together are sufficient.
