  • D 8 cm ✔ ✖
Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation


Parallel sides of a trapezium = 6 cm, and 10 cm
Area of trapezium = 1/2( sum of the parallel sides ) × distance between the parallel sides

32= 1/2( 6+10 ) × distance
32=8 × distance

Distance = 32/8 = 4 cm

So, the distance between the parallel lines of trapezium = 4 cm.
