Correct Answer: $10$
Solution :
In a trapezium, if one diagonal divides the other in the ratio $2:9$, then the parallel sides are divided in the same ratio.
Given that the length of the larger parallel side is $45\;\mathrm{cm}$.
Let the length of the smaller parallel side be $x$.
$⇒\frac{x}{45} = \frac{2}{9}$
$⇒x = \frac{2}{9} \times 45 = 10 \text{ cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is $10$.
