Solution

 Here, $a=5 \mathrm{~cm}, b=12 \mathrm{~cm}$

$c=13 \mathrm{~cm}$

$\therefore \quad s=\frac{5+12+13}{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15 \mathrm{~cm}$

$\therefore$ Area of the given triangle

$$

\begin{array}{l}

=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \\

=\sqrt{15(15-5)(15-12)(15-13)} \\

=\sqrt{15 \times 10 \times 3 \times 2} \\

=\sqrt{3 \times 5 \times 5 \times 2 \times 3 \times 2} \\

=3 \times 5 \times 2=30 \text { sq. cm; Ans. }

\end{array}

$$

So, the correct option is (B)
