MCQ
$\triangle A B C$ is such that $A B=3 cm, B C=2 cm, C A=2.5 cm$. If $\triangle A B C \sim \triangle D E F$ and $E F=4 cm$, then perimeter of $\triangle D E F$ is
  • A
    7.5 cm
  • 15 cm
  • C
    22.5 cm
  • D
    30 cm

Answer

Correct option: B.
15 cm
(B)15
It is given that
$\begin{array}{l}\Delta A B C \sim \triangle D E F \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{A B}{D E}=\frac{B C}{E F}=\frac{A C}{D F}=\frac{A B+B C+C A}{D E+E F+D F} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{B C}{F E}=\frac{3+2+2.5}{\text { Perimeter of } \triangle D E F} \Rightarrow \frac{4}{2}=\frac{7.5}{\text { Perimeter of } \triangle D E F} \Rightarrow \text { Perimeter of } \triangle D E F=15 cm .\end{array}$
