Correct Answer: 125 cm 2
Solution : $\triangle$ ABC ~ $\triangle$ DEF, hence the ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the square of their corresponding sides. $\frac{\text{area of }(\triangle ABC)}{\text{area}(\triangle DEF)}=\frac{BC^{2}}{EF^{2}}$ $⇒\frac{80}{\text{area of}(\triangle DEF)}=\frac{4^{2}}{5^{2}}$ $⇒\frac{80}{\text{area of}(\triangle DEF)}=\frac{16}{25}$ $⇒\text{area of}(\triangle DEF) = \frac{80 \times 25}{16}$ $⇒\text{area of}(\triangle DEF) = 125$ cm 2 Hence, the correct answer is 125 cm 2 .
