Correct Answer: 16 cm
Solution : If two triangles are similar, then their perimeters are directly proportional to the length of their corresponding sides. So, $\frac{\text{Perimeter of $\triangle$ABC}}{\text{Perimeter of $\triangle$ABC}}= \frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{32}{12}$ ⇒ $AB = \frac{32}{12}\times 6$ ⇒ $AB = 16\ \mathrm{cm}$ Hence, the correct answer is 16 cm.
