The sides of a triangular are in the ratio of 1/2: 1/3 : 1/4. if the perimeter is 52 cm. the length of the smallest side is...
option
(A) 9 cm
(B) 10 cm
(C) 16 cm
(D) 24 cm
(E) 12 cm

• Ratio of 3 sides is 1/2:1/3:1/4;
  on solving these we get the ratio as 6:4:3
  so smallest side is= (3/13)*52;

• ans is 12
  three sides ratio is 1/2:1/3:1/4:
  ratio is 6:4:3
  (6/13)*52=24
  (4/13)*52=16
  (3/13)*52=12
  
  smallest is: 12

• Ratio of the sides are 1/2:1/3:1/4
  
  Let the side be x
  
  Acc. to the question, x/2 + x/3 + x/4 = 52
  =>(6x+4x+3x)/12 = 52
  => 13x/12 = 52
  => x = 48
  
  The sides are 48/2 = 24cm
  48/3 = 16cm
  48/4 = 12cm
  
  The smallest side is 12cm.

• given ratios;1/2:1/3:1/4=6:4:3
  6x+4x+3x=52
  x=4.
  therefore,the smallest length is 3x=3*4=12

• [e] 12 cms
  sides are in ratio 6:4:3
  6x+4x+3x=52 hence x=4
  smallest side = 3x i.e.3*4

• =>(6x+4x+3x)/12 = 52
  => 13x/12 = 52
  => x = 48
  
  The smallest side is 12cm.
