Step-by-step explanation:
Let length of rectangle=lcm
breadth of rectangle= bcm
Given length is 3 times its breadth
i.e. l= 3×b
Perimeter of the rectangle= 120 cm
i.e.2×( l+ b)=120
2×(3×b+ b)=120
2×(4×b)=120
8×b=120
b= 15 cm
SO SORRY DEAR FOR MY WRONG ANSWER BUT YE ZARURI THA plz understand ......

To Prove :-
Let us suppose that 5 + √5 is not irrational
=> 5 + √5 is rational.
Let we suppose that 5 + √5 = x/y, where x and y are positive integers such that HCF of a and b is 1.
Now, as x and y are intergers, so x - 5y is also an integer.
which is contradiction to the fact that √5 is irrational.
Hence, our assumption is wrong.
