Correct Answer: 20 cm
Solution :
Given: $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DEF$
The perimeters of $\triangle A B C$ and $\triangle DEF$ are 40 cm and 12 cm
DE = 6 cm
If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal to the ratio of the corresponding perimeter.
$\frac{AB}{6}=\frac{40}{12}$
⇒ $AB=\frac{10}{3}×6$
⇒ AB = 20 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 20 cm.
