Correct Answer: $6 \sqrt{2}$


Solution :
Given, $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is an isosceles triangle with $\angle \mathrm{ABC}=90^{\circ}$, $\mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{BC}$, and $\mathrm{AC}=12 \mathrm{~cm}$
According to Pythagoras theorem,
$AC^2=AB^2+BC^2$
⇒ $12^2=2\times BC^2$
⇒ $BC^2= 72$
⇒ $BC=6\sqrt2$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is $6\sqrt2$.
