Solution

The correct option is B

11.49 cm


Draw diameter BD passing through centre O, join CD

In Δ BCD, D=60 (Angle subtended by the same chord BC)

BDC=90 (Angle subtended by diameter BD on circumference)

In right - angled triangle BCD

sin 60=BCBD=10BD

BD=10sin 60=100.87=11.49 cm

Hence circumdiameter = 11.49 cm
