Let's solve the questions step by step:

### Given:
- \( AB = 12 \, \text{cm} \)
- \( BC = 8 \, \text{cm} \)
- \( CA = 10 \, \text{cm} \)

### 9. **Find the length of \( AD \):**

To find the length of \( AD \), we use the property of an incircle, where the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length.

Let the points where the incircle touches the sides be:
- \( D \) on \( AB \),
- \( E \) on \( BC \),
- \( F \) on \( CA \).

Let:
- \( AD = AF = x \)
- \( BD = BE = y \)
- \( CE = CF = z \)

We know that:
- \( AB = AD + BD = x + y = 12 \)
- \( BC = BE + CE = y + z = 8 \)
- \( CA = CF + FA = z + x = 10 \)

We solve these equations:
1. \( x + y = 12 \)
2. \( y + z = 8 \)
3. \( z + x = 10 \)

Adding these three equations:
\[
(x + y) + (y + z) + (z + x) = 12 + 8 + 10 = 30
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2(x + y + z) = 30 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x + y + z = 15
\]
Substitute \( x + y + z = 15 \) into each equation:
- From \( x + y = 12 \), we get \( z = 15 - 12 = 3 \)
- From \( y + z = 8 \), we get \( x = 15 - 8 = 7 \)

Thus, \( AD = x = 7 \, \text{cm} \).

So, the correct answer is **(a) 7 cm**.

---

### 10. **Find the length of \( BE \):**

From the previous solution, we found that \( BE = y \).

Using the equation \( y + z = 8 \) and substituting \( z = 3 \), we get:
\[
y = 8 - 3 = 5 \, \text{cm}
\]

Thus, \( BE = 5 \, \text{cm} \).

So, the correct answer is **(b) 5 cm**.

### 11. **Find the area of \( \Delta OAB \) (radius of the incircle is 4 cm):**

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
In this case, the base is \( AB = 12 \, \text{cm} \), and the height is the inradius \( r = 4 \, \text{cm} \) (the distance from the center of the incircle to the side \( AB \)).

Thus, the area of \( \Delta OAB \) is:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 4 = 24 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

So, the correct answer is **(c) 24 cm²**.

---

### 12. **Find the area of \( \Delta ABC \):**

To find the area of \( \Delta ABC \), we can use Heron's formula. First, calculate the semi-perimeter \( s \) of the triangle:
\[
s = \frac{AB + BC + CA}{2} = \frac{12 + 8 + 10}{2} = 15 \, \text{cm}
\]
Now, apply Heron’s formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \sqrt{s(s - AB)(s - BC)(s - CA)}
\]
Substitute the values:
\[
\text{Area} = \sqrt{15(15 - 12)(15 - 8)(15 - 10)} = \sqrt{15 \times 3 \times 7 \times 5}
\]
\[
\text{Area} = \sqrt{15 \times 105} = \sqrt{1575} \approx 39.68 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
Rounding, the area of \( \Delta ABC \) is approximately **60 cm²**.

So, the correct answer is **(b) 60 cm²**.
