Correct Answer: 60
Solution :
Given, $\overline{\mathrm{BD}} \perp \overline{\mathrm{AC}}$
$\mathrm{BD}=12 \mathrm{~cm}$, $\mathrm{m}(\overline{\mathrm{AD}})=6 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $\mathrm{m}(\overline{\mathrm{CD}})=4 \mathrm{~cm}$
$AC = AD + CD = 10$ cm
Area of $\Delta ABC$ = $\frac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height}$
= $\frac{1}{2}\times AC\times BD$
= $\frac{1}{2}\times (6+4)\times 12$
= $60$ cm

Hence, the correct answer is 60.
