Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
T.S.A of the wall \(=7\time 5 + 7 \times x + 5 \times x +7 \times 5 = 96\\
70 + 7x + 5x = 96 \Rightarrow 12x = 96-70=26\\
x = \frac{26}{12}=2\)
T.S.A of the wall \(=7\time 5 + 7 \times x + 5 \times x +7 \times 5 = 96\\
70 + 7x + 5x = 96 \Rightarrow 12x = 96-70=26\\
x = \frac{26}{12}=2\)
