Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the length of the shortest part be x\displaystyle x cm.
According to the problem:
- The longest part is twice the shortest: 2x\displaystyle 2x cm.
- The other part is 3 cm more than the shortest: x+3\displaystyle x + 3 cm.
The total length of the cloth is 91 cm. Therefore, the sum of all three parts is:
x+(x+3)+2x=91x + (x + 3) + 2x = 91
4x+3=914x + 3 = 91
4x=9134x = 91 - 3
4x=884x = 88
x=22 cmx = 22\text{ cm}
Thus, the length of the shortest part is 22 cm.
**Correct Option: (c)**
