Correct Answer: $5 \sqrt{5}\text{ cm}$
Solution : Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (l + b) Diagonal = $\sqrt{l^2 + b^{2}}$, where $l$ and $b$ are the length and breadth of the rectangle. According to the question ⇒ 30 = 2(2b + b) ⇒ 30 = 2(3b) ⇒ 30 = 6b ⇒ b = $\frac{30}{6}$ = 5 cm So, length, l = 2b = 2 × 5 = 10 cm ⇒ Diagonal = $\sqrt{l^2 + b^{2}}$ = $\sqrt{100+25}$ = $\sqrt{125}$ = 5$\sqrt{5}$ Hence, the correct answer is $5\sqrt{5} \text{ cm}$.
