Correct Answer: $3 \sqrt{57} \mathrm{~cm}$
Solution : Two medians JX and KY of $\triangle$JKL intersect each other at Z at right angles. KL = 22 cm and KY = 12 cm The medians of a triangle divide each other in a 2:1 ratio. According to the question, Since JX is median, KX = XL = $\frac{22}{2}$ = 11 cm Since JX and KY intersected each other at 90º, $\angle$KZX = 90º. Hence, $\triangle$KZX is a right-angled triangle. According to the concept, XZ = $\sqrt{11^2-8^2}$ XZ = $\sqrt{57}$ Since, JZ : XZ = 2 : 1, JX = $\frac{3}{1} \times \sqrt{57}$ = $3 \sqrt{57}$ cm Hence, the correct answer is $3 \sqrt{57} \mathrm{~cm}$.
