Given : 

AB = 4 cm, PQ = 6 cm, QR = 9 cm and RP = 12 cm

Calculation : 

F1 Other Arbaz  30-10-23 D18

In ΔPQR ratio of sides will be 

⇒ 6 : 12 : 9 = 2 : 4 : 3

Since \(\triangle \mathrm{ABC} \sim \triangle \mathrm{PQR}\) 

So, ratio of sides will be same.

⇒ 2 unit = 4 

⇒ 1 unit = 2

⇒ 2 × 2 : 4 × 2 : 3 × 2

⇒ 4 : 8 : 6

Perimeter of ΔABC = (4 + 8 + 6) = 18

∴ The correct answer is 18 cm.
