The formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is

perimeter = 2(length + width)

Perimeter of the given rectangle = 2(15 + 5) = 40

Area = 5 x 15 = 75

Looking at the given options,

A) Perimeter = 2(11 + 7) = 36

Area = 11 x 7 = 77

B) Perimeter = 2(11 + 9) = 40

Area = 11 x 9 = 99

Thus, the correct option is B
