Correct Answer: 11.13 cm


Solution :
Given, $\mathrm{AB}=12 \mathrm{~cm},\mathrm{AC}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$, and $\angle \mathrm{BAC}=60^{\circ}$
According to cosine law,
$\mathrm{BC}^2=\mathrm{AB}^2+\mathrm{AC}^2-2(\mathrm{AB})(\mathrm{AC})\cos 60^\circ$
⇒ $\mathrm{BC}^2=12^2+10^2-2\times12\times10\times0.5$
$\therefore \mathrm{BC}=11.13\mathrm{~cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is 11.13 cm.
