Given,
PS = 8 cm, PQ = 6 cm, QR = 10 cm
Now from the figure,
PR = QR + PQ
PR = 10 + 6 = 16 cm
Now, we know that when a chord of a circle intersects externally, then the product of segments of chords the same in the measure.
So, 

 PS × PT = PQ × PR
 8 × PT= 6 × 16
 PT=12 cm
Here, PTPS + TS
TS = PT PS
TS = 12  8
TS = 4 cm

Therefore, the correct answer is 4 cm.
