<u>Answer-</u>

\boxed{\boxed{GB=15\ units}}

<u>Solution-</u>

From the attachment,

AD = AE, so FA is a median.

BD = BF, so BE is a median.

CF = CE, so DC is a median.

And G is the centroid.

From the properties of centroid, we know that

The centroid divides each median in a ratio of 2:1

So,

\Rightarrow FG:AG=2:1

\Rightarrow \dfrac{FG}{AG}=\dfrac{2}{1}

\Rightarrow FG=2\times AG

\Rightarrow 5x=2\times (x+9)

\Rightarrow 5x=2x+18

\Rightarrow 3x=18

\Rightarrow x=6

So, GB will be 2(6)+3=15 units

Answer:  The correct option is (C) 15 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the length of GB in the figure.

Given that

FG = 5x  and  GA = x + 9.

From the figure, we note that DC, EB and FA are the medians of ΔDEF drawn from the vertices D, E and F respectively.

Since, the medians intersect at the point G, so G is the centroid of ΔDEF.

We know that the centroid divides each median of a triangle in the ratio 2 : 1, so we have

FG:GA=2:1\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{FG}{GA}=\dfrac{2}{1}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5x}{x+9}=2\\\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=2x+18\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=18\\\\\Rightarrow x=6.

Therefore, the length of GB will be

GB=2x+3=2\times6+3=12+3=15~\textup{units}.

Thus, the length of GB is 15 units.

Option (C) is correct.
