    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    The perimeter: 2 (L + B) = 210 or L+ B = 105 ...... (i)

    As per the question: (L - B) = 25 ....... (ii)

    Solving the above two equations:

    L + B = 105

    B = 105 - L

    Put the value of B in (ii).

    L - (105 - L) = 25

    L - 105 + L = 25

    2L = 25 + 105

    2L = 130

    L = 65

    So, - B = 105 - 65 = 40

    Now, area of a rectangle: L *B= 65 * 40 = 2600 m2
