Solution

The correct options are
B 25 cm
D 31 cm
In an isoscles trapezium, the non - parallel sides are equal.
As the lengths of parallel sides are not mentioned, they can take any two values of the given sides.
Consider a trapezium ABCD in which AB and CD are parallel.
(i) AB = 10 cm, CD = 4 cm, BC = 5 cm
AD = BC = 5 cm
Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + AD = 10 + 5 + 4 + 5 = 24 cm

(ii) AB = 10 cm, CD = 5 cm, BC = 4 cm
AD = BC = 4 cm
Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + AD = 10 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 23 cm

(iii) AB = 4 cm, CD = 5 cm, BC = 10 cm
AD = BC = 10 cm
Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + AD = 10 + 5 + 4 + 10 = 29 cm
