Solution: 

Given: Perimeter of the triangle = 54 m 

Ratio of the sides of the triangle = 5 : 6 : 7 

Let the sides be a = 5x , b = 6x , c = 7x.

So, 5x + 6x + 7x = 54 m 

18x = 54

x = 54/18

x = 3 m 

So, the sides are,

 a = 5(3) = 15 m 

b = 6(3) = 18 m

c = 7(3) = 21 m 

Heron's formula : 

Area = √[S(S - a)(S - b)(S - c)] sq.units

where, S = (a + b + c)/2

S = (15 + 18 + 21)/2 = 27 

Area = √[27(27 - 15)(27 - 18)(27 - 21)]  m²

Area = √[27(12)(9)(6)]  m²

Area = √[17496]  m²

Area = 54√6 m² 

So, the correct option is 2). 54√6 sq.m.
