Correct Answer: 15 cm
Solution : Since the ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is the same as the ratio of their perimeters. $\triangle{ABC} \sim\triangle{PQR}$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{BC}{QR} = \frac{AC}{PR} = \frac{36}{24}}\\$ $\Rightarrow\mathrm{\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{36\;\mathrm{cm}}{24\;\mathrm{cm}}}\\$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{\frac{AB}{10\;\mathrm{cm}} = \frac{36\;\mathrm{cm}}{24\;\mathrm{cm}}}\\$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{AB = \frac{36\;\mathrm{cm} \times 10\;\mathrm{cm}}{24\;\mathrm{cm}} = 15\;\mathrm{cm}}$ Hence, the correct answer is 15 cm.
