Answer is D

After dilation the image remain same but it is stretched or shrinked to the original size.

That means the ratio of the sides and the angles between the sides remain same .

Here we did dilation of ABCD which made it to EFGH.

Hence the ratio of the corresponding sides of the original rectangle ABCD should remain same even after dilation.

the corresponding sides are : AB and EF

BC and FG

CD and GH

DA and HE

* Let us find ratio of the sides AB and BC

given that AB= 10 and BC= 14

AB/BC= 10/14 = 5 /7 ( 10 and 14 both are multiple of 2 so we reduced them by a factor of 2 )

* the raio of the corresponding sides EF and FG should be same ( 5/7)

in the option D EF= 25 and FG= 35

so EF/FG= 25/35 = 5 /7 ( both are multiple of 5 so we reduced them by the factor of 5 )

Since ratio of the corresponding sides are coming out to be same for the EFGH given in option D it should be the dilation of the ABCD

Well, the answer will depend on whether the order will count or not (based on Permutations and Combinations). If the order counts, then we would use the formula for Permutations, which is:
$\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$
Where n is the number of items you have, and r is the number of times you choose from the items.
$\frac{15!}{(15-3)!}$
Which simplifies to
$\frac{15!}{(12)!}$
Which simplifies to 15*14*13 (because all the numbers 1-12 in the factorial canceled out), which gets us the answer 2730.

Now, if you wanted to find the number of ways to order the toys without replacement (order doesn't count), you would use the formula:
$\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$
The variables are still the same, but you are now multiplying by r!.
$\frac{15!}{3!(15-3)!}$
Simplifies to
$\frac{15!}{3!(12)!}$
Which simplifies to (using the same cancellation method above)
$\frac{2730}{3!}$
Dividing 2730 by 3! will get us an answer of 455.

Really, it depends on whether they are ordered or not. In this case (since you didn't specify whether the order mattered), the answer would be 455 or 2730.
