Correct Answer: 62.5 cm


Solution : The perimeter of $\triangle$MNO = 80 cm
The perimeter of $\triangle$STU = 200 cm
$\triangle$MNO is similar to $\triangle$STU, if ON = 25 cm
$\frac{\text{Perimeter of $\triangle$MNO}}{\text{Perimeter of $\triangle$STU}} = \frac{\text{ON}}{\text{TU}}$
⇒ $\frac{80}{200} = \frac{25}{\text{TU}}$
⇒ TU = $25\times{\frac{200}{80}}$
$\therefore$ TU = 62.5 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 62.5 cm.
