In ∆PQR, S and T are points on sides PR and PQ respectively such that ∠PQR = ∠PST. If PT = 5 cm, PS = 3 cm and TQ = 3 cm, then length of SR is
-
- 5 cm
- 6 cm
-
31 cm. 3 -
41 cm. 3
- 5 cm
Correct Option: C
As per the given in question , we draw figures of two similar triangles PQR and PST
Here , PT = 5 cm, PS = 3 cm and TQ = 3 cm
∠PQR = ∠PST
∠P = ∠P
∴ ∆PST and ∆PQR are similar,
∴ | = | ||
PS | PT |
⇒ | = | ||
3 | 5 |
⇒ PR = | = | ||
3 | 3 |
∴ SR = PR - PS = | - 3 | |

SR = PR = PS = | = | cm. | ||
3 | 3 |
