Question : $\Delta ABC$ and $\Delta DEF$ are similar. Also $\angle A=\angle D$ and $\angle B=\angle E$. If $4AB=DE$ and $BC=\operatorname{12 cm}$, then $EF$ is equal to
Option 1: $\operatorname{3 cm}$
Option 2: $\operatorname{24 cm}$
Option 3: $\operatorname{16 cm}$
Option 4: $\operatorname{48 cm}$
