Solution

The correct option is B 5

Option (b)

EF = AD = 8

(EADF is a rectangle)

CD = (22 – 16) = 6

So in the right angled triangle ADC, AD = 8 and CD = 6.

Therefore AC = 10

Therefore length of the line joining the mid – points of

AB and BC = 12 (10) = 5

(length of the line joining the mid – point of two sides of a triangle is half the 3rdside)
