what is the total length of the heavy line segments?

If heavy line segments means the perimeter of the combined figure u posted, then my answer is C 21

i.e 12+12 =3 =21

It's difficult to make out the heavy lines from the pic

[camitava]

Thanks Samir! Got ur point...

[camitava]

But Kajcha! Thats how the pic was given in the question.
