Answer:  THe correct option is (C) 15.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the length of SR in the right-angled triangle SRQ as shown in the figure.

Since RT is perpendicular to the hypotenuse SQ, so triangle RTQ and SRT are also right-angled triangles at angle RTQ and RTS respectively.

Also, RQ = 20 units and TQ = 16 units.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle RTQ, we have

RQ^2=RT^2+TQ^2\\\\\Rightarrow RT=\sqrt{RQ^2-TQ^2}\\\\\Rightarrow RT=\sqrt{20^2-16^2}\\\\\Rightarrow RT=\sqrt{144}\\\\\Rightarrow RT=12.

Now, since RT is perpendicular to the hypotenuse of ΔRST, so we get

ST\times TQ=RT^2\\\\\Rightarrow RS\times 16=144\\\\\Rightarrow RS=\dfrac{144}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow RS=9.

Again, using Pythagoras theorem in right-angled triangle RST, we get

SR^2=RT^2+ST^2\\\\\Rightarrow SR=\sqrt{144+81}\\\\\Rightarrow SR=\sqrt{225}\\\\\Rightarrow SR=15.

Thus, the length of SR is 15 units.

Option (C) is CORRECT.
