Correct Answer: 60 cm
Solution :
In similar triangles, the ratios of the respective sides are equal to the perimeter of the triangles.
Using the concept
⇒ $\frac{\text{(perimeter of ΔPQR)}}{\text{(perimeter of ΔUVW)}} = \frac{\text{PQ}}{\text{UV}}$
⇒ $\frac{120}{240} = \frac{30}{\text{UV}}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{30}{\text{UV}}$
⇒ UV = 60 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 60 cm.
