Here, option (A) is correct. 

Given: 

Angle A = 30°

Angle B = 60°

Angle C = ?

We know, all interior angles of triangle is equal to 180°.

So, 30° + 60° + Angle C = 180°

90° + Angle C = 180°

Angle C = 180° - 90°

Angle C = 90°.

So, 2nd longest side is 60° and shortest side is 30°. Hence, we can say that the second-longest side is twice as long as the shotest side.
