Correct Answer: 48 cm
Solution : Given, PR ∶ RQ = 1 ∶ 3 and PR = 6 cm Let the PR and RQ be $x$ and $3x$ respectively. According to the question, ⇒ PR = $x$ = 6 cm [Given] ⇒ RQ = $3x$ = 3 $×$ 6 = 18 cm Now, ⇒ PQ = (PR + RQ) ⇒ PQ = (6 + 18) cm ⇒ PQ = 24 cm We know that the line joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel and half of the third side. So, BC = 2PQ = 2 $×$ 24 = 48 cm Hence, the correct answer is 48 cm.
