If area of a rectangle with sides x and y is X and that of a parallelogram (which is strictly not a rectangle) with sides x and y is Y, then
(a) X=Y
(b) X less than or equal to Y
(c) X less than Y
(d) X greater than Y

Question

If area of a rectangle with sides x and y is X and that of a parallelogram (which is strictly not a rectangle) with sides x and y is Y, then 
(a) X=Y 
(b) X less than or equal to Y
(c) X less than Y
(d) X greater than Y

Yagnavalkya Gyara · Answer

Option (d): X is greater than Y.
Area of parallelogram is base * height. Here in this case, if we assume x is the base, height would be less than y since both the base and height aren't perpendicular. 
So Y &lt; X.

If area of a rectangle with sides x and y is X and that of a parallelogram (which is strictly not a rectangle) with sides x and y is Y, then (a) X=Y (b) X less than or equal to Y (c) X less than Y (d) X greater than Y
