Correct Answer: 60 cm
Solution : Let the parallel sides of the trapezium be $3x$ cm and $2x$ cm. We know, Area of trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (sum of parallel sides) × (distance between two parallel sides) ⇒ 450 = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (sum of parallel sides) × 15 $\therefore$ The sum of the length of the sides = 60 cm Hence, the correct answer is 60 cm.
