SSC GD 2023 PYQ — Question 55

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e 84 cm².

The sides of the triangle

a = 13 cm, b = 14 cm and c = 15 cm

By using Heron's Formula

Area of Triangle = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

s = (a + b + c)/2

= (13 + 14 + 15)/2

= 42/2 = 21

Area = $\sqrt{21(21 -13)(21-14)(21-15)}$

= $\sqrt{21\times8\times7\times6}$

= 84 cm²
