Correct Answer: 15 metres
Solution : According to the question ⇒ Perimeter = 2(length + breadth) = 42 ⇒ Length + breadth = 21 m ⇒ Area = length × breadth = 108 Let the length be a and breadth be (21 – a). ⇒ Area = length × breadth = 108 ⇒ a × (21 – a) = 108 ⇒ a 2 – 21 a + 108 = 0 ⇒ (a – 9) (a – 12) = 0 ⇒ a = 9, 12 So, Length = 12 and breadth = 21 – 12 = 9 ⇒ Diagonal = $\sqrt{{length}^2+{breadth}^2}$ = $\sqrt{{12}^2+{9}^2}$ = $\sqrt{{144}+{81}}$ = $\sqrt{{225}}$ = 15 Hence, the correct answer is 15 metres.
