    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Side of Square = 5 cm, and length of one side of rectangle = 5/2 = 2.5 cm

    Let the length of the other side of the rectangle = B

    As per the question:

    Area of rectangle = Area of square

    Length x Breadth = Side x Side
                    2.5 * B = 5 * 5
                             B = 25/2.5
                             B = 10 cm
