Correct Answer: 48 cm
Solution : Given: The ratio of the length of sides is 6 : 8: 10 and the area of the triangle is 96 cm 2 . Let the sides be $6x$ cm, $8x$ and $10x$ cm. By heron's formula, Area of triangle = $\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$ where, $s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}$ Here, $s=\frac{6x+8x+10x}{2}=12x$ So, $\sqrt{12x(12x-6x)(12x-8x)(12x-10x)}$ = $96$ ⇒ $\sqrt{12x(6x)(4x)(2x)}$ = $96$ ⇒ $24x^2$ = $96$ ⇒ $x^2 = 4$ ⇒ $x=2$ Now, the Perimeter of the triangle = $2s$ = $24x$ = 48 cm Hence, the correct answer is 48 cm.
