Correct Answer: 50
Solution :
Let the length of the rectangle be $3x$ and the width be $2x$.
Area = length $\times$ width $= 2x \times 3x = 6x^{2}$
Given $6x^{2} = 150$
$⇒x^{2} = 25$
$\therefore x = 5$ cm
Width = 5 × 2 = 10 cm
Length = 5 × 3 = 15 cm
$\therefore$ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (Length + Width) = 2 × (15 + 10) = 50 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 50 cm.
