    Two similar triangles ABC and PQR have their areas \[25c{{m}^{2}}\] and \[49c{{m}^{2}}\] respectively. If \[QR=9.8cm,\]the value of BC is:                                                                                     (CBSE 2020)

    A) 7 cm

    B) 4 cm

    C) 8 cm

    D) 9 cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Given, \[ar\,(\Delta ABC)=25\,c{{m}^{2}},\]
    \[ar\,(\Delta PQR)=49\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
    and         \[QR=9.8cm\]
                \[\Delta ABC\tilde{\ }\Delta PQR\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{ar(\Delta ABC)}{ar(\Delta PQR)}=\frac{B{{C}^{2}}}{Q{{R}^{2}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\frac{25}{49}=\frac{B{{C}^{2}}}{{{(9.8)}^{2}}}\Rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{25}{49}}=\frac{BC}{9.8}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\frac{5}{9}\times 9.8=BC\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,BC=7cm\]
