It is given that ΔABC ~ ΔDEF. If A = 30°, C = 50°, AB = 5 cm, AC = 8 cm and DF = 7.5 cm then which of the following is true?


In ΔABC,
A + B + C = 180°


30° + B + 50° = 180°


B = 100°
Given that
Δ ABCΔDEF
D = A = 30°


E = B = 100°
F = C = 50°
Also,


DE = 4.6875
And as neither BC nor EF is given we can not find either of them. So, none of the given options is correct.
Now,
Δ ABCΔDFE,
Then,
D = A = 30°
F = B = 100°
E = C = 50°
Also,


DE = 12cm
Therefore, the correct option is (b).
