Correct Answer: 16 cm
Solution : Given: △ABC∼△DEF, such that 2AB = DE and BC = 8 cm. If two triangles are similar then their corresponding sides are proportional. ⇒ $\frac{\text{EF}}{\text{BC}}=\frac{\text{DE}}{\text{AB}}$ ⇒ $\frac{\text{EF}}{8}=\frac{2\text{AB}}{\text{AB}}$ ⇒ $\text{EF}=2×8$ ⇒ $\text{EF}=16$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 16 cm.
