  1. The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 . If the perimeter of the triangle is 52 cm, the length of the smallest side is :
    1. 24 cm
    2. 10 cm
    3. 12 cm
    4. 9 cm
Correct Option: C

According to question, Ratio of sides of triangle

=
1
:
1
:
1
= 6 : 4 : 3
234

Now, 6x + 4x + 3x = 52 cm.
13x = 52
∴ x = 4cm
∴ Length of smallest side = 3x = 4 × 3 = 12cm
