Correct Answer: 500 cm


Solution :
Given $\triangle$ABC ~ $\triangle$DEF,
⇒ $\frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{AC}{DF}$
⇒ $\frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{AC}{DF}$
⇒ $\frac{48}{200} = \frac{120}{DF}$
⇒ $DF = \frac{200 \times 120}{48}$
⇒ $DF = 500$ cm
So, the length of the longest side of triangle DEF is 500 cm.
Hence, the correct answer is 500 cm.
