Correct Answer: 16 cm
Solution :
Since the ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is the same as the ratio of their perimeters.
$\therefore \triangle$ GST~$\triangle$ FAX
⇒ $\frac{GS}{FA}=\frac{ST}{AX}=\frac{GT}{FX} = \frac{48}{36}$
⇒ $\frac{GS}{12}= \frac{48}{36}$
$\therefore GS = 16\ \text{cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is 16 cm.
