Correct Answer: 2.8 cm


Solution : Given:
$\triangle$ABC is similar to $\triangle$DEF.
So, $\frac{\text{Area of ABC}}{\text{Area of DEF}}=\frac{BC^2}{EF^2}$
⇒ $\frac{9}{16}=\frac{2.1^2}{EF^2}$
⇒ $EF^2=\frac{4.41×16}{9}$
⇒ $EF=\sqrt{\frac{4.41×16}{9}}$
$\therefore EF =2.8$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 2.8 cm.
