Correct Answer: $20\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$
Solution : Given: PQRS is a square with a side of 10 cm. A, B, C, and D are PQ, QR, RS, and SP mid-points, respectively. The perimeter of the square is $4a$, where $a$ is its side. PA = AQ = QB = 5 cm Also, $\triangle AQB$ is a right-angled triangle at $Q$. In $\triangle AQB$, from Pythagoras's theorem, we get, ⇒ $(AB)^2=(AQ)^2+(QB)^2$ ⇒ $AB=\sqrt{(AQ)^2+(QB)^2}$ ⇒ $AB=\sqrt{(5)^2+(5)^2}$ ⇒ $AB=\sqrt{50}$ $\therefore AB=5\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$ So, the perimeter of the square ABCD $=4 × 5\sqrt{2}= 20\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$ Hence, the correct answer is $20\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$.
