c
(c)

Given,

Perimeter of rectangle is $76$ units.

Let $x$ and $y$ are sides of each rectangles.

$\therefore$ Perimetre of rectangle $=6 x+5 y=76$

and $\quad 4 x=3 y \quad \ldots (i)$

On solving Eqs.$(i)$ and $(ii)$,we get

$x=6, y=8$

$\therefore$ Perimeter of each rectangle

$=2(x+y)=2(6+8)=28 \text { units }$
