Let "a" and "b" be the sides of rectangle.
Since both circles have the same area, they have the same radius.
10=Pr^2
r=10^1/2 / P^1/2
It's obvius from teh picture above that "a"= 3*r/P^1/2 and "b"=2*r/P^1/2
Substituting we get
a=3*10^1/2/P^1/2 b= 2*10^1/2/P^1/2
Area of rectangle = a*b=2*3*10/P=60/P

Answer E

Since the area of the circle is 10,

π*r^2 = 10
r = $$\sqrt{10/π}$$
The breadth of the rectangle is the diameter of either circle which is $$2\sqrt{10/π}$$

Similarly, the length of the rectangle will be equal to $$3\sqrt{10/π}$$

Hence, the area of the rectangle will be $$(2\sqrt{10/π})$$*$$(3\sqrt{10/π})$$ = 60/π(Option E)
