RRB NTPC · Question 49

Triangle PQR is such that PR = 12 cm and triangle PQR is similar to triangle XYZ. If XY = 20 and YZ = 28 cm, then find the ratio of PQ : QR. A. 5 : 7 B. 3 : 2 C. 7 : 5 D. 5 : 2

  1. A

  2. B

  3. C

  4. D

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (A) A

Explanation

In similar triangles corresponding sides are proportional, so PQ : QR = XY : YZ = 20 : 28 = 5 : 7.
