उत्तर
Length of the string to be made into rectangle = 48 cm
∴ Perimeter of the rectangle = 48 cm
2 × (l + b) = 48 cm
l + b = `48/2`
l + b = 24 cm
Possible pairs of length and breadth are (1, 23), (2, 22) (3, 21), (4, 20), (5, 19), (6, 18), (7, 17), (8, 16), (9, 15), (10, 14), (11, 13), (12, 12)
Number of different rectangles = 12
