Correct Answer: 3 cm


Solution :
Given:
PQ = 3 cm
The line joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half of the third side.
So from $\triangle$ABC, we get
FE = $\frac{1}{2}×$BC --(1)
and from $\triangle$OBC, we get
PQ = $\frac{1}{2}×$BC --(2)
From equation 1 and 2, we get
FE = PQ = 3 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 3 cm.
