Correct Answer: 31 cm
Solution : Since the ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is the same as the ratio of their perimeters. $\therefore \triangle$ XYZ ~ $\triangle$ PQR $⇒\frac{\text{XY}}{\text{PQ}} = \frac{\text{YZ}}{\text{QR}} = \frac{\text{XZ}}{\text{PR}} = \frac{62}{42}$ $⇒\frac{\text{XY}}{\text{PQ}} = \frac{62}{42}$ $⇒\frac{\text{XY}}{21} = \frac{62}{42}$ $⇒\text{XY} = \frac{62 \times 21}{42}$ $⇒\text{XY} = 31$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 31 cm.
