Option 2: INR 500

Option 3: INR 550

Option 4: INR 525

Question : The perimeters of two similar triangles XYZ and PQR are respectively 62 cm and 42 cm. If PQ = 21 cm, find XY.

Option 1: 27 cm

Option 2: 28 cm

Option 3: 29 cm

Option 4: 31 cm

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 31 cm


Solution :
Since the ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is the same as the ratio of their perimeters.
$\therefore \triangle$ XYZ ~ $\triangle$ PQR
$⇒\frac{\text{XY}}{\text{PQ}} = \frac{\text{YZ}}{\text{QR}} = \frac{\text{XZ}}{\text{PR}} = \frac{62}{42}$
$⇒\frac{\text{XY}}{\text{PQ}} = \frac{62}{42}$
$⇒\frac{\text{XY}}{21} = \frac{62}{42}$
$⇒\text{XY} = \frac{62 \times 21}{42}$
$⇒\text{XY}
