Answer: Option (C) is correct, the dimensions of the brand name television = 32 inches by 64 inches.

Explanation:

Given : The generic version was based on the brand name and was three eighths the size of the brand name and both are similar.

The dimensions of the generic television set = 12 inches by 24 inches

Let the dimensions of brand name be x by y such that

three eighth of x=12 inches

$\Rightarrow(3)/(8)x=12\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(12*8)/(3)=32\ inches$

and three eighth of y=24 inches

$\Rightarrow(3)/(8)y=24\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=(24*8)/(3)=64\ inches$

Therefore, the dimensions of the brand name television = 32 inches by 64 inches.

Hence option (C) is correct.
