Answer:

Option D. c = 45 will be the answer.

Explanation:

In the figure attached there are two similar parallelograms PARL and WXYZ.

In which AP = 15, PL = 40, WZ = 120 and WX = c

By the property of similarity, corresponding sides of the given parallelograms will be in the same ratio.


(PL)/(WZ)=(PA)/(WX)


(40)/(120)=(15)/(c)

c =
(15* 120)/(40) [By cross multiplication]

c = 45

Therefore, Option D. c = 45 will be the answer.
