Answer : 3. "34 cm"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 34 cm Explanation: Let the side of the square be 's' cm   length of rectangle = (s+5) cm   breadth of rectangle = (s-3)cm   (s+5) (s-3) =    s2 - 5s - 3s - 15 = s2    2s = 15   Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L+B) = 2(s+5 + s–3) = 2(2s + 2)   = 2(15 + 2) = 34 cm
