Q) In the figure given above, △ ABC ∼ △XYZ, then find the values of x and y.

(Q 25 B – 30/1/3 – CBSE 2026 Question Paper)

Ans:

Step 1: Since it is given that Δ ABC ~ Δ XYZ,

∴

∵ XY = x cm, AB = 4 cm, YZ = 7.2 cm, BC = 6 cm

∴ = 1.2

∴  x = 4 x 1.2 = 4.8 cm

Therefore, the value of x is 4.8 cm

Step 2: Again, from given condition of Δ ABC ~ Δ XYZ,

∴

∵ XZ = 6 cm, AC = y cm, YZ = 7.2 cm, BC = 6 cm

∴ = 1.2

∴  y = = 5 cm

Therefore, the value of y is 5 cm.
