Solution

The correct option is C

22 cm,20°


Consider ABC Now, by the angle sum property of a triangle, C=180(A+B)=180(100+60)=20°.

Given that ABCPQR , hence the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are in proportion.

Therefore, C=R=20°

SInce sides are in proportion , we have

ABPQ=BCQR

1326=11x

x=22 cm
