Correct Answer :

Option C

36

Solution :

The correct option is 36.

Step-by-Step Explanation:
We are given a parallelogram PQRS with the following side lengths:
PQ=(4x+1) cm
QR=26 cm
RS=25 cm
PS=(3y1) cm

In any parallelogram, opposite sides are equal in length. Therefore, we have two pairs of equal sides:
1. PQ=RS
2. PS=QR

Step 1: Find the value of x

Using the property PQ=RS:

4x+1=25

Subtract 1 from both sides:

4x=251

4x=24

Divide by 4:

x=6

Step 2: Find the value of y

Using the property PS=QR:

3y1=26

Add 1 to both sides:

3y=26+1

3y=27

Divide by 3:

y=9

Step 3: Calculate the value of (3x+2y)

Substitute x=6 and y=9 into the expression:

3x+2y=3(6)+2(9)

3x+2y=18+18

3x+2y=36

Thus, the value of (3x+2y) is 36 cm.
