Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declaration of HTML5 document type -->
<html>
<head>
<title>How to set the width and height of the background image</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
<style>/* CSS style start*/
body {
background: url("https://www.w3resource.com/images/w3resource-logo.png"); /* Setting background image for the body */
background-repeat:no-repeat; /* Setting background repeat property to "no-repeat" */
background-size:200px; /* Setting background size property to 200 pixels (width), height will be auto */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>The background-size CSS property set the width and height of the background image.</p><!-- Paragraph content -->
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to set the width of the background image while maintaining its aspect ratio.
The CSS style block defines styling for the body element.
The background image used in this example is the w3resource logo.
background-repeat:no-repeat; is used to set the background repeat property to "no-repeat", which means the background image will not be repeated.
background-size:200px; is used to set the width of the background image to 200 pixels. The height will be automatically adjusted to maintain the aspect ratio of the background image.
The HTML content consists of a paragraph explaining the background-size CSS property.
