Correct Answer: 160
Solution : Given: $DE\parallel BC$ and $DE = 6\text{ cm}$, $BC = 8\text{ cm}$, and area of ($\triangle ADE) = 90 \text{ cm}^2$ Since $DE\parallel BC$, $\triangle ADE$ and $\triangle ABC$ are similar. So, $\frac{(Area \ of \ \triangle ADE)}{(Area \ of \ \triangle ABC)} = \frac{DE^2}{BC^2}$ $⇒\frac{90}{(Area \ of \ \triangle ABC)} = \frac{6^2}{8^2}$ $⇒\frac{90}{Area\ of \ (\triangle ABC)}=\frac{36}{64}$ ⇒ Area of $(\triangle ABC)=160 \text{ cm}^2$ Hence, the correct answer is 160.
