Solution

The correct option is C

6 cm


In Δ ABC

B=150, AC=3 cm

Draw diameter AD and join CD to form quadrilateral ABCD

ADC=180150=30 (ABCD is the cyclic quadrilateral)

ACD=90 (Angle subtended by the diameter on the circumference)

Angles of triangle ADC are 30, 60, 90

The corresponding sides can be calculated as

sin(30):sin(60):sin(90)

12:32:1

1:3:2

306090x:x3:2xACCDAD3 cm33 cm6 cm

Hence diameter AD = 6 cm
