Correct Answer: 8
Solution :
If $\triangle \mathrm{A B C}$ is similar to $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$
⇒ $\frac{\text{Ares of triangle ABC}}{AB^2}=\frac{\text{Area of triangle PQR}}{PQ^2}$
⇒ $\frac{32}{AB^2}=\frac{50}{10^2}$
⇒ $AB^2=\frac{32}{50}\times 100$
⇒ $AB^2=64$ cm
⇒ $AB=\sqrt{64}=8$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 8 cm.
