    Question

    A 2 cm wide wooden strip is to be fixed on a photo of 40 cm × 30 cm size all along its four sides. What is the minimum length of the wooden strip required?

    A.

    124 cm

    B.

    128 cm

    C.

    132 cm

    D.

    140 cm

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Photo size = 40 cm by 30 cm. Wooden strip runs along all four sides (two strips of length 40 cm and two strips of length 30 cm).

    Formula:
    Total length
    = 2 × (length + breadth)

    Solution:
    Total length = 2 × (40 + 30) = 2 × 70 = 140 cm

    So maybe they fix the strip inside the photo edges (so the strip lies inside, reducing dimensions by 2 cm on each side.

    Minimum Length of the strip = 140 - 4 - 4 = 140 - 8 = 132 cm 

    Correct Answer: (c) 132 cm
