16 inches by 32 inches
9 inches by 18 inches
18 inches by 36 inches
8 inches by 16 inches

Answer 1

Answer:  Third option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

there are two similar televisions at a local electronics store,

Dimension of generic television set is  

12 inches by 24 inches  

We need to calculate the dimensions of brand name television ,

Since it is also given that the generic television was two third of the size of the brand name, i.e.

$\text{Generic television}=\frac{2}{3}\times \text{brand television}$

Now,

$\text{brand television }=\frac{3}{2}\times \text{generic television}$

So, length of brand name television becomes

$\frac{3}{2}\times 12=3\times 6=18\ inches$

Breadth of brand name television becomes

$\frac{3}{2}\times 24=3\times 12=36\ inches$

So, Dimension of brand name television is

18 inches by 36 inches

So, Third option is correct.
