Given:

The figure of two triangles.

To find:

The scale factor.

Solution:

We know that,


\text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{Side of Image}}{\text{Corresponding side of original figure}}

In the given figure,


\text{Scale factor}=(5(2))/(5)


\text{Scale factor}=2

The scale factor is 2. Therefore, the correct option is B.
