Answer 2

Answer: Third option is correct.

Step-by-step 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}=(2)/(3)* \text{brand television}`

Now,

`\text{brand television }=(3)/(2)* \text{generic television}`

So, length of brand name television becomes

`(3)/(2)* 12=3* 6=18\ inches`

Breadth of brand name television becomes

`(3)/(2)* 24=3* 12=36\ inches`

So, Dimension of brand name television is

18 inches by 36 inches

So, Third option is correct.
