Question

The side of a triangle  are in the ratio of  `1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4` . If the perimeter is 52 cm. Then the length of the smallest side is  :


Options:
A .  9 cm
B .  10 cm
C .  11 cm
D .  12 cm
Answer: Option D

Ratio of sides = `1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4` =  6 : 4 : 3.

Perimeter = 52 cm. So, sides are `(52 xx 6/13)`cm, `(52 xx 4/13)` cm   and `(52 xx 3/13)` cm.

`:.`    a = 24 cm , b = 16 cm,  c = 12 cm.

`:.`      Length of smallest side = 12 cm.
