Solution

The correct option is D
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} A B$

AB and CD are two diameters of a circle with centre O.

Length of chord $A C = \sqrt{O A^{2} + O C^{2}}$

$= \sqrt{r^{2} + r^{2}} = \sqrt{2 r^{2}} = \sqrt{2} r$

$= \sqrt{2} \times \frac{1}{2} A B = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} A B$

In a circle with centre O, AB and CD are two diameters perpendicular to each other. The length of chord AC is

The correct option is D 1√2AB AB and CD are two diameters of a circle with centre O. Length of chord AC=√OA2+OC2 =√r2+r2=√2r2=√2r =√2×12AB=1√2AB
