Detailed Solution

We have been given,
Question ImageThe triangles MNO and MPN are similar because MNO=MPN= 90 °   and angle M is common.
Therefore,
ON MO = NP MN  
As we know, the value of hypotenuse of a triangle is,
altitude2-base2
Substituting the values,
Question Image  Question Image  NP = 4.8cm
Therefore, the length of the perpendicular NP on the side MO is 4.8 cm.
Thus, our statement is false.
∆ MNO is a right-angled triangle. Its legs are 6 cm and 8 cm long, and the length of perpendicular NP on the side MO is 4.8 cm.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
