Correct Answer: 50 cm


Solution : Given, the parallel sides of a trapezium are 21 cm and 14 cm and its area is 875 cm 2
Area of trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}\times (a+b)\times h$
where $a$ and $b$ are parallel sides and $h$ is the distance between parallel sides.
So, $\frac{1}{2}\times(21+14)\times h=875$
⇒ $h=50$
Hence, the correct answer is 50 cm.
