A horse moves along a circular path that has 4 poles (A, B, C, and D) as shown in the figure below.
A person asks the horse rider to identify OB, AC, and AD from the given figure.

Solution
The correct option is B OB: Radius; AC: Diameter; AD: Chord
The given figure of the path in which the horse moves is:
From the figure, we can observe that O is the centre of the circular path, and A, B, C, and D are the poles on the path.
After joining the points, we observe that
⇒ OB is the radius of the circle, O is the centre, and B is a point on the circumference of the circle.
⇒AC is the line passing through the centre of the circle, and both its ends are on the circumference of the circle. It means that AC is the diameter of the circle.
⇒ AD is also a line whose ends are on the circumference of the circle, but it does not pass through the centre. This means that AD is a chord of the circle.
Hence OB, AC, and AD are the radius, diameter, and chord of the circular path respectively.
