Solution

The correct option is A 11 cm
From the question, ABCD is a parallelogram.
AC = 12 cm and BD = 16 cm (Given)

AO = 6 cm = OC and DO = 8 cm = BO (Diagonals of a paralleogram bisect each other)

Perimeter of $△$ AOD = AO + OD + AD
$\Rightarrow$ 25 = 6 + 8+ AD
$\Rightarrow$ 25 = 14 + AD
$\Rightarrow$ AD = 25 - 14 = 11 cm

The length of AD = 11 cm
