In two similar triangles the ratio of medians is 3 : 5. The ratio of corresponding sides is
A9 : 25
B5 : 3
C3 : 5
D3 : 25
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 3 : 5
1. In similar triangles, all linear elements share the same ratio.
2. Medians are linear, so their ratio equals the side ratio.
3. Hence 3 : 5.
