What is triangle ?

Triangle is a three sides two dimensional surface having three angles.

We have,

[tex]\triangle MRN[/tex] , [tex]\triangle RSM[/tex] and [tex]\triangle RSN[/tex],

And, [tex]NS =6,\ SM=2,\ RM=x,\ NR=y,\ RS=z[/tex]

Now,

We have right angle [tex]\triangle MRN[/tex],

Using Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]x^2+y^2=8^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2+y^2+=64\[/tex]     [tex].....(i)[/tex]

Now, We have right angle [tex]\triangle RSN[/tex],

Again Using Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]z^2+6^2=y^2[/tex]

⇒[tex]z^2=y^2-36[/tex]     [tex].....(ii)[/tex]

Now, We have right angle [tex]\triangle RSM[/tex],

Again Using Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]z^2+2^2=y^2[/tex]

⇒[tex]z^2=x^2-4[/tex]     [tex].....(iii)[/tex]

Now comparing equation [tex](ii)[/tex] and equation  [tex](iii)[/tex],

We get,

[tex]x^2-4=y^2-36[/tex]

We get,

[tex]x^2-y^2=-36+4[/tex]

[tex]x^2-y^2=-32[/tex]     [tex].....(iv)[/tex]

Now,

Adding equation [tex](i)[/tex] and equation  [tex](iv)[/tex], i.e.

[tex]x^2+y^2+=64[/tex]

[tex]x^2-y^2=-32[/tex]

We get,

[tex]2y^2=96[/tex]

[tex]y^2=48[/tex]

[tex]y=\sqrt{48}[/tex]

[tex]y=4\sqrt{3}[/tex]

So, the value of [tex]y[/tex] is [tex]4\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Hence, we can say that the value of [tex]y[/tex] will be [tex]4\sqrt{3}[/tex]  which is given in option (b).
