Detailed Solution

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 1: 3: 5 and its perimeter is 90 cm. The length of its largest side is 50 cm.
Given, the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 1: 3: 5 and its perimeter is 90 cm.
Let the common ratio be x.
Perimeter of the triangle = sum of the sides
90 = x + 3x + 5x
9x = 90
x=909
x = 10
So the largest side is 5x.
=  5×10
= 50 cm
Hence, the largest side is 50 cm.
So, the correct answer is 50.
