Answer: Third option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of DE = 13 cm

Length of EF = 26 cm

Length of BC = 12 cm

Length of AB = x cm

Using the Two transversal proportionality Corollary, we get that


(13)/(13+26)=(12)/(12+x)\\\\(13)/(39)=(12)/(12+x)\\\\(1)/(3)=(12)/(12+x)\\\\12+x=12* 3\\\\12+x=36\\\\x=36-12\\\\x=24\ cm

Hence, The value of x is equal to 24 cm.

Therefore, Third option is correct.
