1 unit
2 units
4 units
6 units

Answer 1

2 units
........................................................................................

Answer 2

Option C. 4 units

Explanation:

As we know median of a triangle intersect each other at a point in the ratio of 2.01.

Therefore, in Δ QNL,

`(NS)/(SR)` =
`(2)/(1)`

`((7x-3))/((5x-3))` =
`(2)/(1)`

By cross multiplication

(7x - 3) = 2(5x -3)

7x - 3 = 10x - 6

6 - 3 = 10x - 7x

3 = 3x

x = 1

Now length of NS

= (7x - 3)

= (7 × 1 - 3)

= (7 - 3)

= 4 units

Option C. 4 units is the answer.
