Given Perimeter = 24 units
2(l+b)=24
L+B =12
Option A can be area of the rectangle as 9*3 is 27 and 9+3 = 12.
Option B cannot be area of the rectangle as possible combination area (8*3,12*2,6*4) and their sum is (11,14,10).
option C can be area as 10*2 is 20 and 10+2 = 12
option D can be area as 11*1 is 11 and 11+1 = 12
