Solution

The correct option is D
9cm

In $△ A B C a n d △ P Q C$
$∠ P Q C = ∠ A B C = 90^{\circ}$
$∠ C = ∠ C$ (common angle)
Therefore, $△ A B C \sim △ P Q C$ by AA similarity
$\frac{A C}{P C} = \frac{A B}{P Q} \Rightarrow \frac{10}{15} = \frac{A B}{12} \Rightarrow A B = 8 c m$
In $△ A B C$ ,
$A B^{2} + B C^{2} = A C^{2} \Rightarrow B C = 6 c m$
PB = PC – BC = 15 - 6 = 9 cm
