  1. 6 cm./सेमी.

  2. 12 cm./सेमी.

  3. 18 cm./सेमी.

  4. 24 cm./सेमी.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Area of triangle ABC = 108 cm². Distance of base BC from centroid G = 6 cm. The centroid divides the median in ratio 2:1, so the height h from A to BC satisfies h/3 = 6, giving h = 18 cm. Area = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × b × 18 = 108, so base b = 108 × 2/18 = 12 cm. The equal sides' information is consistent but not needed for this calculation.
