What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 8 cm and width 5 cm?

  • A26 cm
  • B28 cm
  • C30 cm
  • D32 cm
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A β€” 26 cm
Explanation: Perimeter of rectangle = 2Γ—(length + width) = 2Γ—(8+5) = 2Γ—13 = 26 cm. Perimeter measures total boundary length. Rectangle perimeter formulas are used in fencing construction and measurement problems and appear regularly in entry-level competitive exam geometry sections alongside area and diagonal calculations.

Which of the following is a prime number?

  • A1
  • B9
  • C15
  • D17
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D β€” 17
Explanation: 17 is a prime number having exactly two factors: 1 and itself. The number 1 is neither prime nor composite. 9 equals 3Γ—3 and 15 equals 3Γ—5 so both are composite. Prime numbers are fundamental in number theory cryptography and competitive exam questions on divisibility HCF LCM and factorization.
