A) 27 and 23 B) 24 and 23
C) 25 and 23 D) 22 and 23
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 27 and 23

Explanation:

Let the two parallel sides of the trapezium be a cm and b cm. 

Then, a - b = 4 

And, 12×a+b×19=475=>a+b=50 

Solving (i) and (ii), we get: a = 27, b = 23. 

So, the two parallel sides are 27 cm and 23 cm.
