Solution

The correct option is B

A-r; B-p; C-s; D-q


(b) (A)r;(B)p;(C)s;(D)q

(A) Let PQ be the chord of a circle with centre O and radius 8 cm such that PQ = 12 cm. From O, draw OLPQ. Join OP. Since the perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord. PL=LQ=12PQ=6 cm In right triangle OLP, we have



OP2=OL2+PL2
82=OL2+62OL2=8262OL2=8262=6436=28OL=28=5.291cm
Hence, the distance of the chord from the centre is 5.291 cm.

(B) We know that the perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.

In Δ PLO, PL = 15cm and PO = 17cm

By pythagoras theoram,

PO2 = PL2 + LO2

LO2 = 152 - 172

LO2 = 225 - 289

LO = 8cm

Similarly MO = 15cm

Therefore, LM = 15 + 8 = 23cm
(C) Let PQ be a chord of a circle with centre O and radius 6 cm. Draw OLPQ. Join OP then OL = 4 cm and OP = 6 cm.
From the right-angled ΔOPL, we have
OP2=OL2+PL2PL2=OP2OL2PL2=6242=3616=20PL2=4.472cm

Since the perpendicular from the centre of the circle to a chord bisects the chord, we have
PQ=2×PL=2×4.472=8.94 cm

(D) Let Δ PQR be an equilateral triangle of side 9 cm. Let PS be one of its medians. Then PSQR and QS = 4.5 cm
PS=PQ2QS2
=92(92)2cm=932cm


In an equilateral triangle, the centroid and circumcenter coincide and PG:PS = 2 : 3
Radius=PG=23PS=23×932
=33=5.196cm
