Correct Answer: 30 cm
Solution : The centroid divides each median into two segments whose lengths are in the ratio of 2 : 1. $GD$ = 10 cm Let the length of $AG$ be $x$. $\therefore \frac{2}{1} = \frac{x}{10}$ $\Rightarrow x = 20\ \text{cm}$ Now, $AD = GD + AG = 10 + 20 = 30$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 30 cm.
