Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (B)

As we can see, the 2 triangles are similar. Their sides are in the ratio 2:1 (MPN: ABC). Hence, BC will be 7.5/2 = 3.75 cm. Option B is the right answer.

2) Answer (C)

In Similar triangles , corresponding sides are of same proportion.
PerimeterΔABCPerimeterΔPQR=ABPR
3624=AB10
Ab = 15

3) Answer (A)

It is given that ΔAB ΔDEF

Also, length of AB = 10 cm and length of the corresponding side DE = 6 cm

=> Ratio of Perimeter of ΔABC : Perimeter of ΔDEF = Ratio of corresponding sides = AB : DE

106=53

The required ratio is 5 : 3

=> Ans – (A)

4) Answer (A)

Given : XYZPQR and XY:PQ=5:1

To find : ar( XYZ) = x = ?

Solution : Ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of square of the corresponding sides.

=> ar(XYZ)ar(PQR)=(XYPQ)2

=> x5=(51)2

=> x5=251

=> x=25×5=125 cm2

=> Ans – (A)

5) Answer (C)

It is given that ΔABC ΔPQR

Also, perimeter of ∆ABC and ∆PQR are 36 cm and 24 cm

=> Ratio of Perimeter of ΔABC : Perimeter of ΔPQR = Ratio of corresponding sides = AB : PQ

3624=AB10

=> AB = 32×10=15 cm

=> Ans – (C)

6) Answer (A)

It is given that ΔABC ΔDEF

Also, perimeter of ∆ABC and ∆DEF are 30 cm and 18 cm

=> Ratio of Perimeter of ΔABC : Perimeter of ΔDEF = Ratio of corresponding sides = AB : DE

3018=AB36

=> AB = 53×36=60 cm

=> Ans – (A)

7) Answer (B)

If we compare the corresponding sides of two triangles,=> PQDE=2.55=12

Similarly, QREF=PRDF=12

Since, ratio of all corresponding sides is equal, then PQRDEF

=> Ans – (B)

8) Answer (A)

The ratio of sides in ABC and  DEF

= ABDE=BCEF=ACDF

= 147=84=105=21

Since, the ratio of corresponding sides are equal, =>  ABC   DEF

 A=D,B=E,C=F

=> Ans – (A)

9) Answer (D)

If two triangles are similar, then the corresponding sides are proportional to each other. Also, the corresponding angles are equal, but the corresponding sides may or may not be equal to each other. Thus, all are correct.

=> Ans – (D)

10) Answer (C)

Area of Δ ABC = 64 sq.cm
Area of Δ DEF = 121 sq.cm
Given that Δ ABC and Δ DEF are similar triangles.
Then, Area of ABCArea of DEF=(BCEF)2

=> 64121=(BC15.4)2

=> BC15.4=811

=> BC=811×15.4=11.2cm

11) Answer (B)

In the case of similar triangles AB/PQ =AC/PR =BC/QR
AB/PQ=2/3
AB/PQ=BC/QR
AB/PQ=2BD/2QS
AB/PQ=BD/QS
BD/QS=2/3
(BDQS)2=4/9
