  • Question
  • The sides of a triangle area in the ratio of 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 and its perimeter is 94 cm.
    Find the length of the smallest side of the triangle .


  • Options
  • A. 18 cm
  • B. 22.5 cm
  • C. 24 cm
  • D. 27 cm

  • Correct Answer
  • 24 cm 

    Explanation

    Given ratio = 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 = 20 : 15 : 12
    Let length of the sides be 20k, 15k and 12k.

    Then, according to the question,
    20k + 15k + 12k = 94
    ? 47k = 94
    ? k = 94/47 = 2

    Smallest side = 12k = 12 x 2 = 24 cm
