Answer

Correct Answer : c ) 8 cm

Explanation :

According to the question

AB = c = 12 cm, BC = a = 10 cm and CA = b = 14 cm

AD is the median

We know that

median=122b2+2c2a2{1 \over 2}{\sqrt{ 2b^2+2c^2-a^2}}

Median=122(12)2+2(14)2(10)2{1 \over 2}{\sqrt{ 2(12)^2+2(14)^2-(10)^2}}

⇒Median=12288+392100{1 \over 2}{\sqrt{ 288+392-100}}

Since, 580{\sqrt {580}} ≅ 24  

⇒Median=12580{1\over 2}*{\sqrt {580}}= 1224{1\over 2}*24

⇒ 12 cm

Centroid divides Median in the ratio 2 : 1

⇒GD=1312{1 \over 3}*12

⇒ GD = 4 cm

Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
