A) 140
B) 388
C) 238
D) 119
E) 112

Rationale: when folded along the breadth we have 2 ( l / 2 + b ) = 34 or l + 2 b = 34 . . . . . . . . . . . ( 1 ) when folded along the length , we have 2 ( l + b / 2 ) = 38 or 2 l + b = 38 . . . . . ( 2 ) from 1 & 2 we get l = 14 and b = 10 area of the paper = 14 * 10 = 140 sq cmv answer : a
Answer: A
