\qquad \qquad\huge \underline{\boxed{\sf Answer}}

The Length of PQ such that Triangle JKL is similar to Triangle PQR ~

To make the given triangles similar, we have to get the ratios of each of their corresponding side to be equal to one another.

That is :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (PQ)/(12) = (9)/(6)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: PQ = (9)/(6) * 12


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: PQ = {9}{} * 2


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: PQ = 18 \: units

hence, the option C is correct
